Person

A short post in reflection of the past few weeks: Unless you value what Christ has to offer, Christianity has nothing to offer you, and unless you value who Christ is, you won't understand why what he has to offer could be worth so much. They're very connected. Whatever there is to gain only comes from our investment in seeking out the "who" in Christ. The "who" gives us the reasons for the "what" and the "why". It can be a fantastically hopeless adventure to miss that central personality of Christianity and ultimately we end up right where we started. But then that's the point here. We strive for all sorts of things with even the best of intentions but progress only comes through a person who is watching over us no matter where we think we need to go. When we come back unassure, He is very assuring. What we get is a shockingly vivid blessing in being able to pursue things. It's a blessing fully realized when we invest it in a certain person and it's only when we truly believe that He is worth more than anything else going on around us that we can truly begin to "pursue" with Him. I wonder what Christianity would look like if we were constantly aware of who Christ is and what it means for us. Desire, Action, Love, Pursuit, and a million other words would all look incredible under a brighter light.
