Missing Jesus
“Call to me and I will answer you, and will teach you great and hidden things that you have not known.” - Jeremiah 33:3
Missed opportunities are all around us. Many of them involve money or a chance at love, but today, I want to talk to you about another type of opportunity you don’t want to miss. It’s the opportunity to meet, receive, and get close to Jesus.
It is about having a chance to meet the only person who has the capacity to transform your life, and turn things around in so many areas.
When we survey the birth narratives of Jesus found in Luke and Matthew, one of the sad realities is that there were seemingly so many people who were present, who were right there during the birth of Jesus, and missed out on the moment and the meaning… they were oblivious to the significance and the value of Jesus.
They missed Jesus altogether. And the tragedy is that even today, at a time when we have the benefit of knowing about the person, the purpose, and the plan of Christ, people all around us are still missing Jesus.
They hear about His coming. They see the signs that He is close to them. They can even be in His presence, and yet, they miss out on the promise and the power of Jesus in their lives. They are right in the proximity of the person they need, the resources at their disposal, and the hope they’ve been looking for; but they just miss it completely.
Don’t miss it, my friend. Don’t miss your opportunity to know the One who can change your entire life. The transformation, the sudden shake-up you have been waiting for and looking for…His name is Jesus Christ.
What you are missing is Jesus. But the good news is that you don’t have to miss Him anymore. You can call on Him right now and He will answer you. Don’t miss out on Jesus any longer.
