One of us.

When Jesus was born, God became one of us. He stopped being separate from us. He integrated Himself with creation.

Different.

I remember I spent a few years when I was younger and I decided to go “seeing for myself” and thought I could wing life without God.

Has God ever said something to you that your brain just could not compute?

Imagine that, seeing someone you love marry someone else instead of you...

God does not forget or go back on His word, regardless of what our present circumstances look like.

God is good.

...it is always about people.

It's God’s protection to say hey, if you are new to this thing, sit under someone first.

So Jesus tells us, don’t just look at the outward obvious things people want you to see, look at their character.

"God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible."
