I have three more days in the U.S. Whoa. I'm making phone calls and hanging with my people like it's going out of style. Maybe it is? I doubt it, though.
Just so you know, Jesus is really cool. Now, I say that about a lot of things. This time it's for real. He's basically the coolest person ever. And yes, He was/is a person. 100% man, 100% God. You do the math. And that's what's on my mind today: how great Jesus is. Well, not only that. More like the implications of how awesome Jesus is.
If Jesus is who He says He is (the Son of God), and He did indeed die and was raised to life, then what the heck are we doing? Why are we living like this isn't true? I guess sometimes we do. When someone dies or when times are hard, we turn to Christ. We know everything will be alright in the end because Jesus promised it would be. And He's sovereign. BUT. If He's sovereign, why do we still take most of our lives into our own hands? Our relationships. Our education. Our finances. WE have control over these; not God Himself. How vain and stupid is that?
If Jesus was God and died for us, for our sins because we can't pay for them ourselves, then why are we still sinning? Sin is no longer our master, right? Why do we allow it to be? I guess this is what I'm dealing with lately. I'm convinced that I'll never get out from under this sin. But Christ has made a way for me to: Himself. Yet, I spit in His face and try to fix it on my own. Ugh. It's disgusting. I've been living my life of my own power, of my own will. That's living a lie. Jesus is so much more than that. That's pure truth.
Love.
