We are All About Jesus



By Pastor Rey Diaz

We are all about Jesus.  Our world revolves around Jesus. Everything we do is about leading people to follow him.  We are just in love with Jesus.  Infatuated.  Obsessed.  Head over heels. 

I can’t say it enough.  We are all about Jesus.

He is our treasure.  All of our hopes are found in Him.  He gives us purpose, grants us meaning, and places on us inestimable value.

He forgave us.  Of everything.  All our mistakes.  All our failures.  All our shortcomings.  All our sins.

He redeemed us.  When we thought it was unredeemable.  When redemption seemed impossible.  He did it.

He healed us.  Of our pain.  Of our hurts.  Of our past.  Of the injustice done us.  Of our sickness.

He changed us.  To be better versions of ourselves.  To be who we are designed to be.  To be free of hurts, habits, and hang ups.

He taught us.  What really matters.  How to love.  How to forgive.  How to be vulnerable.  How to overcome.  How to trust.  How to pray.

He invited us. When we were unlovable.  Unbearable.  Far away.  Rebellious.  Haughty.  Sinners.

He challenged us.  To live up to our identity.  To live in God’s kingdom.  To take responsibility for our world.  To be children of God.

So we are a people in love with Jesus.  We have experienced True Life and we can’t go back.  We have enjoyed the light, so the darkness has nothing to offer. 

So we sing.  So we share.  So we learn.  So we gather and enjoy Jesus. 

We are all about Jesus. 

Does this seem right?  Are you in love?  Are you learning?  What is keeping you from Jesus?  How can you draw close?  Can we help?
