You Know God...

Is your path different than others? Is it the narrow road or the wide?

Today's Scripture:
No one can see God, but Jesus Christ is exactly like him. He ranks higher than everything that has been made.

Colossians 1:15

Jesus knew from an early age that he was different. He had an understanding of God that no other person had. This unique understanding was the mind of God contained inside him. This almost incomprehensible idea stated another way is this: Jesus was fully human all at once.

Paul hoped to help people gain an understanding of this matchless human named Jesus. Colossians 1 contains several verses of bite-size information to help people digest the concept of Jesus as fully God and fully human. The concept may take you a lifetime to grasp, and that is okay. Many adults still struggle with such a mind-boggling concept. Just remember that there is only one God.

Jesus was the living, breathing reality of God on earth.

For you, this means two significant things. One, you can know God by knowing Jesus. Although much of who God is remains beyond human comprehension, the Bible gives you knowledge of God as you read about the life of Jesus. Two, Jesus experienced life as a human being. He was a baby, a child, a teenager, and an adult. Jesus was hungry, frustrated, happy, and sad. He experienced the loss of family and friends. Although he never gave in, Jesus was tempted by Satan, so he understands what it is like when you are tempted. He endured physical pain. Jesus knows what it is like to be human, which means he knows what it's like to be you.

Selah people' and friends God not only created humanity, but he experienced it first hand. God knows what you are going through; allow him to be God in your life today. Choose his path and it will lead you to his kingdom.

"Peace be with you and I as we travel the road of life and really get to know God who already knows us."
