Jesus Snapshots: Jesus in the Every day
In the time Jesus walked the earth, followers of Jesus would tell people of their personal encounters with him. At the end of The Passion of the Christ, we see Jesus get up from the tomb as He comes back to life from the dead – he is living today. People are still telling stories of their encounters with Jesus some two thousand years later. Explore the impact and relevance Jesus has today through these snapshots of people’s lives.
Free to Make Decisions without Fear
I’m a planning freak and am always looking for the next step. Recently I had to make a pretty big career decision. As I weighed the pros and cons of the choice, I decided to try praying. Maybe I could glean some supernatural insight into my situation that felt so foggy.
While I was praying, Jesus’ words came to my mind, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” (John 14:6) His words came to life in a new way and intersected with my situation where I was feeling confused and fearful of making a poor choice. “Kristin, I am the way. I didn’t come to show you the way to the good life of God’s plan for you. I am the way. It’s good you’re coming to me with your plans, but do you care more about the plan, or do you care about knowing Me no matter what is going on in your life? I want you to know that I am with you no matter what the plan is. I want you to grow to trust me so much that it doesn’t matter what you actually end up doing. If you are wherever I am, that is the way to go.”
With each major decision that comes I am still tempted to stress out and think that I am alone in my decision-making. Each time I am reminded of Jesus’ desire for me to discover more deeply how trustworthy he is in new situations.
