I saw a picture this week (keep reading to see the picture) and it made me smile. Our God is big.
He is greater than our worries. Greater than our fears. Greater than our dreams. Greater than yesterday. He is greater than Chuck Norris, even.
So, I’m asking you to finish this sentence…
“Jesus is greater than _________”

Any of my problems, sins, faults, mistakes, hopes, dreams and expectations.
I know it seems obvious, but I tend to forget.

… our perspective or ideas of how big He is. Yup, bigger than that! Much, much bigger!

America, any presidential candidate or party agenda.
Jesus is the hope of the world, not America.
I went there.
Nicole Cottrell said in reply to jr. forasteros...
You went there and it was awesome.

He is greater than anything that I am ever afraid of, intimidated by, or worried about. He is greater than any dream I could ever come up with, any beautiful concept or lofty aspiration. He is greater than anything that ever will be. He is greater than my life, my country, my world or anything in it.
Nicole Cottrell said in reply to Laura...
Laura,
So beautiful. I got teary-eyed. And this: “He is greater than anything that ever will be.”
Yes. He is the beginning and the end. All things were created by Him and for Him and in Him they have their meaning. (Col 1:16)

…the sins that Christians use to label and dismiss others.

….all that I think is great
Ashleigh said...
…my brokenness and everything that makes empty promises to fix it.
Nicole Cottrell said in reply to Ashleigh...
Ashleigh,
Your simple sentence here could speak truth to thousands of us, myself included, who have tried to fix our own brokenness with the promises of the world.

anything I an imagine: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Great verse to add!

Gary said...
Jesus is greater than the entire Fantastic Four because he takes care of issues before I know I have them AND he doesn’t have to be there to do it. This is kinda fun.
