Last week, we talked about Jesus choosing His disciples and Jesus choosing us. Jesus didn’t wait for His disciples to be ready. He didn’t wait for them to be perfect or equipped. He met them where they were. He knew them from the time He created them. He knew their hearts.
Jesus meets you where you are.
Read John 1:43-49 - Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
These are our questions for you:
- [ ] How did Jesus meet you where you were? What was it like to have that first personal encounter with Jesus?
- [ ] How did Jesus speak directly to your situation? How did you know it was Jesus?!
- [ ] When you encountered Jesus for the first time, how did you respond?
Jesus is present in every circumstance.
The Gospel tells us that Jesus meets us exactly where we are in the journey, no matter how broken, how worn out, or how unworthy and overwhelmed we may feel. He is there for us whether we recognize Him or not. No one’s too far gone for Him to reach. He’s powerful enough to rescue us from what seems like unreachable places. And He does it all because Jesus loves His people. (John 3:16)
