DAY 20 - LOOKING TO JESUS
CONNOR GRIM, ASSOCIATE PASTOR & VOLUNTEER TEAM LEAD
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.” Colossians 2:9-10
We as humans have a tendency to do a really weird thing; we love making difficult things easy and making easy things hard. If you’re anything like me I’m always trying to find the most simple and efficient solution to any problem I come up against. I want to make intricate things simple so that I can understand them, explain them, and easily navigate the situation if it should arise again.
In that same breath, I normally am pretty skeptical when something presents itself that’s almost too easy. Like one year I filed my taxes using an online platform and had so much anxiety when I submitted it because the process wasn’t that hard to figure out. And trust me, I am not a money or finance guy at all.
I feel like we do this in most areas of our lives, especially when it comes to our relationship with God. While I think that God has given us brilliant minds with the ability to discover, imagine, solve and invent endless amounts of things, we also can overlook the simplicity in our relationship with God.
Do you ever find yourself wondering what God would do or how He would think about a certain situation? Simply look to Jesus. Have you ever questioned why God would allow certain things to happen in this world and what His motives could possibly be? Look to Jesus. Have you questioned how God thinks about you, or whether He actually cares specifically about you? Look to Jesus.
That three-letter phrase almost seems like a cop-out due to the simplicity of it. Look to Jesus. But Colossians 2 tells us that all of the fullness of God dwells in the person of Jesus. Meaning how Jesus acts, how Jesus thinks, how Jesus responds and how Jesus feels is how God feels. We don’t need to make it more complicated than it is. God is available. You can know Him as a friend. And he’s found more and more every day as we continue to set our eyes on Jesus!
