At worship during the second day of Continuing Education, we were asked to explain to our neighbor what our answer is to the question, “why does Jesus matter?” I talked to my new friend about growing up never feeling like I was enough, or could do enough, or could do what was expected correctly enough. It was hard always feeling like I came up short, especially with God. But then I heard about grace and how Jesus lived, died and rose again because of his pure love for me. His actions of grace meant I was more than enough - I was loved and accepted. But the best news is that his actions of grace are for us all - we are ALL loved and accepted by Jesus. And that is why I believe Jesus DOES matter, I told my friend (with tears in my eyes)!!
Blessings.
