Chatting with Jesus
Monday, February 13, 2023
Lord, I loved the “Jesus Gets Us” commercials aired during the Super Bowl. To me, the messages made perfect sense. Not all agree. Many who don’t know You responded harshly, and some self-righteous religious snobs who don’t know grace were overly critical of these messages to the masses. However, according to Your Word, You came to love and redeem these misguided folks as much as You did for all the biblical saints. And me. And the psalmist. He was 3000+ years ahead of the game on this one. He wrote his version of “Jesus Gets Us.”
“The Lord looks down from Heaven and sees the whole human race. From His throne, He observes all who live on the earth. He made their hearts so He understands everything they do.”— Psalm 33:13-15 (NLT).
Lord, You have always “Get Us!” You understand all we go through. When You came to Earth, You became fully human, subjecting Yourself to everything this broken world throws at us. Jesus, You get us. You enjoyed humanity’s best, and You suffered humanity’s worse, yet You still gave Your life to redeem the “best” of us and the “worse” of us. Without You “getting us,” we would be so lost.
Lord, how can we as Christ followers emulate “Jesus Gets Us?” You’ve shown us that as well.
“O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of You: to do right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God,” Micah 6:8 (NLT).
By following Micah’s mandate, our “Jesus Gets Us” will fall into place with those in our sphere of influence. After all, Jesus, You get us all—Your followers, and those who do not follow You—yet.
Amen, Jesus.
THANKFUL
