Questions about Jesus

Here are just two questions to think about. They are some things that we always say, and we all know what they mean. But how do they work? That is what we should look at. And, please, save your heresy comments until the end.

What does it mean when people say "Jesus loves you".
- He does not physically touch you to give you a hug or a kiss.
- He does not sit next to you to give you comfort.
- He does not audibly talk to you.
- He does not write you notes, emails, texts or anything.

So what does it actually mean? How does Jesus actually love people? How can people feel loved by Jesus? Again, it might sound like heresy or something, but it is important to think about. It is important to know. This generation wants a tangible and relevant God who impacts their life - not a well-worn one liner.

What does it mean when people say "Jesus will be with you".
- He does not physically be there with you.
- He does not audibly talk to you.
- He does not make Himself visible.

So what does it actually mean? Since we cannot see Him or hear Him - how can Jesus be there with people? This generation does not want another copout statement. We want to connect with a real and genuine Jesus.

Again, it is important for us to think about these questions.

But it is equally important for us to allow the questions. We cannot be afraid of these questions. We cannot be uncomfortable with these questions. We need to find the middle ground on these questions and how we do that is this: we find our middle ground through the answers. Questions always lead to answers.
