Jesus is not some stoic, passionless, rule-based Savior. On the contrary, He is a fiery, affectionate lover who enjoys me and longs to be with me…
If my heart does not grab the revelation of a relentless God who is passionately pursuing me, it will not be moved.
It’s like being married without touch. Without communication, without intimacy.
Covenant without affection. Commitment without affirmation.
The marriage is in trouble…
If I don’t embrace this revelation, my heart becomes embittered and I eventually sink into doing things for God out of duty, striving to be faithful and never really connecting with Him at a deep level. This way of living will not last.
This is a far cry from the words of Jesus;
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
