Jesus

    It has been falling on me afresh, the mysterious yet beautiful truth, that God put on flesh and humanity and walked among us, died for us, and rescued us through his son Jesus Christ. It has taken me to scripture this week to discover Jesus yet again. I have been reminded that...


Jesus felt emotions. He experienced grieving, pain, knew loss.

Jesus experienced rejecton, betrayal, deep saddness,

he experienced abuse, affliction and injustice.

Jesus knew what it felt like not to belong, to be vulnurable , to have no home.

Jesus can identify with humanity better then anyone.


In the midst of being fully human, he also revealed to us just who God is, and his heart for humanity.


Jesus loved. Jesus noticed . Jesus walked with . Jesus reached out and touched.

Jesus felt great pity.

Jesus wept. Jesus had dinner with people. Jesus saw . Jesus had compassion .

Jesus was not shocked or disgusted with others. Jesus led . Jesus told stories. Jesus enjoyed teaching.

 Jesus gave hope . Jesus met people in their mess.


The list goes on and on through reading the gospel I am in awe of him, what he went through to save us, and his crazy love and compassion for us.


I long to know Jesus deeper and for others who don't know him to meet him.


Please pray that as God continues to lead us at Light Patrol into friendships with those living downtown Toronto, that together as a community we would all fall in love with Jesus, and know him better day by day.
