warning! Jesus stuff!

I wrote this the other day and hubby insisted that I share.  He said I needed to give it to the world.  I am only open for debate, not argument.


God was always there.  God always spoke to those who listened.  When people would not (or could not) listen he gave us Jesus.  God transformed Himself from a being whose face we could not behold into flesh and blood.  Jesus had a face, a personality, breath.  Jesus was sent to the world for the world.  He came for everyone, but He spent his time with special people.  The chosen people of Jesus were beggars, lepers, prostitutes, and tax collectors.  People who were unclean.  People who had betrayed their own people, their friends and themselves.  He came to them not with words.  He came not with advice.  He came with action.  He touched.  He healed.  He lifted the burdens.  He asked nothing of them.

Jesus isn’t someone you can understand by memorizing Bible verses.  You find Him broken down on the side of the road.  You find Him in prison.  You find Him in back alleys and soup kitchens.  You find Him in sorrow and grief.  When you find Him you realize that it is not Him you are reaching out to, but Him who is reaching out through you.  That is how you find Jesus.  He does not come to you.  Don’t wait for Him.  You must go out and seek to find Him.

Those who need Him wait for you.  They are in the dark.  They are alone and scared and empty.  They don’t need Bible verses.  They need you hands to lift them, arms to hold them and shoulders to carry their burdens.
