Let’s talk about Jesus. Do you know Him? There’s a difference between knowing about someone and really knowing someone. When it comes to Jesus, we can have all the knowledge in the world about Him but live our entire lives never truly knowing Him. When Jesus physically walked this earth, there were many different ideas about who He was. Now Jesus himself was very clear about who He was, and he made seven distinct “I Am” statements that eventually led to Him being tortured and crucified. Here’s the most important question for each of us: who do YOU say Jesus is? Does that line up with who Jesus says He is? To truly know Him requires personal experience of Him, experiencing His transformation.
Jesus’ extravagant love FOR us requires extravagant love FROM us.
What if the reason our prayers don’t seem to work is because we are not praying correctly? What if we are doing it wrong?...
Salvation is free; it costs us nothing. Following Jesus will eventually cost us something.
