Is it possible that you have walked away from Jesus, not because you have tried him and want nothing to do with him, but because somewhere along the line you developed a view of Jesus that is contrary to the Jesus of the gospels?
My fear as a pastor is not that someone would reject Jesus. But that they would reject Jesus for the wrong reasons. Is it possible that the Jesus you, or someone you love, has walked away from is nothing more than a caricature of the real Jesus?
Look again, listen closely, and let Jesus speak for himself. Because he has come to make you out to be his very own by loving you, forgiving you, redeeming you, and calling you.
