Jesus Gives Us Jesus

“In our presentation of the Gospel we often focus on what Jesus can do for us.  Now don’t get me wrong.  Jesus does a lot for us.  He forgives us, reconciles us with God, gives us meaning and eternal life.  But the most important thing about Jesus is He gives us Himself.  We have so emphasized the rewards of following Christ that we have forgotten that following Him, being with Him, knowing Him, and calling Him ‘Friend’ and ‘Elder Brother’ are far more wonderful and important than anything else.”        –Steve Brown
