Finding God

When people ask, “Have you found Jesus?”, I wonder what that means to them. I’ve heard responses from the truthful, “Yes. No. I thought I did. Not interested.”, to the joking, “I wasn’t aware he was lost.” I feel, personally, that people are missing the point…the whole point…of God. I am being completely serious when I say this. Here’s why….

If you follow your bible, Jesus said he came so that we may have life. I feel strongly that people were supposed to learn from him in how to have a one-on-one connection with God. That is why he spoke. That is what he wanted to teach. That was his way of life. Yet many, many only see Jesus as their savior for their sins…not a teacher for reviving their soul. Did you catch that? Jesus wanted us to learn what a real connection with God is, not to die for the sins of a man who wouldn’t wake up to what it means to live a fulfilled spiritual life.

Jesus prayed alone. He listened to God directly. He followed what he felt led to do. He trusted God completely. I think the question should be, “Do you want a great one-on-one relationship with God, like Jesus has?”

Jesus came to teach. God wants the one-on-one with you, anytime you’ll have him.
