WHO

Why do I follow Jesus?

Jesus is a God to follow because he illustrated, not just told. He painted a picture, sung a song, danced a dance.

He came to be and live with us. The same hands that created forests sculpted wood. The same breath that spoke man into existence was shortened as he ran from persecution. The same being that breathed the stars into existence sat one night and prayed underneath them.

He not only came to us, He came for us. He came to be a way. Not just to tell us some laws, but demonstrate how to fulfill them. He showed us the Life to live. He was the Life to live.

Dirtied and messed up and in pain He thought of love. With a crown of thorns and nail pierced hands He thought of love. With no friends at his side and God forsaking Him He thought of love. And the dirt and the blood and the pain all flees in the face of the hope. That mighty hope that we are able to sit with Him. That his bride the church can become spotless and mighty simultaneously and dance with Him like He once did on earth. That we can partake in fierce love. That we can endlessly dance with a being who loved absolutely unto death.

I will follow this Jesus. This torn man. This present Creator. This broken body. This sacrificed Power. This Life. This Love.

This is Jesus to me.
