All occasions require some kind of preparation. The dinner that Jesus calls us to is one of a kind. It’s as rare as it comes. Your biggest gift to God is your availability. The more available you are to Him, the more He becomes real to you. It’s a special dinner that can accommodate the entire human race. There’s room enough for you to share a meal with the son in whom life exists.
John 1:4 New Living Translation (NLT) 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,[a] and his life brought light to everyone.
Jesus is the bread of life. He is the word that we need. He is everything. The word of God is truth. If you were created by God, you’re in luck. The word gives life to everything that was created. Just how much do we need Jesus? We cannot survive without Him. He is so powerful that He is able to light up the entire world!
Man, the idea of having a bulb light up my room mesmerizes my eyes. It’s fascinating to know that a single press of a button changes the entire situation of a room encompassed by darkness. That button is not automatic. I actually have to press it if I want to have light in my room.
Each time I walk in my room, there’s a light bulb that has to be switched on. It’s the first thing I do. Before I do anything else in that little room, I turn on the light. Why? Because with that light, I see clearly. The light produces everything I’d need to go on with my business.
The above scripture says, ‘His life brought light to everyone.’ The scripture is talking about the one and only Jesus Christ. Jesus is the switch that we need to turn on if we ever want to have lives that are enveloped with meaning and purpose.
The dinner that the master calls us to is something that is amazing. We can all straighten up our faces and try to appear as appealing a figure as we’d want to, but Jesus Christ is so real a man that He wants us as we are.
Matthew 4:19 King James Version (KJV) 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
The only thing Jesus wants us to do is to follow Him. We never ever have to worry about what we’d have to do to look more spiritual or to have a more spiritual language. No! He says, ‘follow me.’ Jesus is the one that translates us from our poor images to the one akin to Himself.
Before we are molded to the image of Christ Jesus. We are told to follow Him. You cannot make yourself holy. You cannot make yourself righteous. Our righteousness was a gift from Christ Jesus. How can we enjoy Jesus’ righteousness without following Him first?
Highlight: Jesus loves us so much. We should stop fixating on what's wrong with us and focus on Him. Come to Jesus. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you.
PS: Thank you for reading. This chapter was super short but I know you'll love the next one even more. Stick around. There's more to come. God bless you readers! You're an amazing lot!
