I just returned from a seminar this past weekend that dealt with the idea of, "How does Jesus interact with people?" I came away with some new learning that all of Jesus’ life is a textbook for my own life. I can learn from Him how to interact, how to care, how to love. In fact, I think that in every area of my life I can discover something in the life of Jesus that will help me on my own journey.
I am struck today by the largeness of the life of Jesus, which is to say that every part of who He is, is relevant for today.
In fact, what part of Jesus life does not give us insight into living our own life? I know that some will say, "Jesus is a historical figure," or "Jesus might have something to say to religious people." There are many other things people can say, much of that would be truth. Yet, I find a deeper reality in this life lived before us. I find a person who wants to be my closest friend--someone who will accept me for what I am and then through His own love for me reaches out to help me and to guide me into real life.
Reading through these passages at the end of the book of Mark, you cannot but be reminded that in every area of life Jesus has something to teach us and even to show us if only we would open our eyes to who He really is.
So my question to you today: NOT, how does Jesus interact with people, but, how is Jesus interacting with YOU?
