This is not a jab at my friend who have invited me to participate in the "5 things I dig about Jesus" meme. I responded a few days ago when my friend Doug invited me, and recently I got another invitation from my buddy Dino.
Here's what I like. It's people talking about Jesus and how he's connected with them.
Here's what gets under my skin about it and I'm assuming my friends would totally agree.
There aren't even close to just 5 things I like about Jesus... it's way more.
Jesus isn't really someone I dig, rather he is someone who is an all-encompassing figure in my life. Someone who's impact on me or the world can not be measured, quantified, or calculated.
How can I dig 5 things about someone who is referred to as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end?
I can't help but think that my 5 things would be anything but self-referencing minutia that seem meaningless in the expanse of who God is.
This Jesus is so intimate and so mysterious to me and the people I know and the people I don't know and all of creation.. how can I really just contribute 5 things I dig?
so I humbly submit on behalf of myself and my friends (those who'll let me) that 5 things I dig about Jesus is only a speck about what we love about Jesus. And what we love about Jesus is only a speck about who Jesus may actually be.
