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 _________”
…everything we make him to be.
So true and so good.
… our theology.
Ooh, Nikki, that’s goooood.
Thank God he is Nikki.
Any of my problems, sins, faults, mistakes, hopes, dreams and expectations.
I know it seems obvious, but I tend to forget.
…ALL!!!
… 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.
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.
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.
… Who I have made Him to be, on purpose or by accident.
….me.
our financial situations
me and everything I’ve ever done to screw up my life
….all that I think is great
…my brokenness and everything that makes empty promises to fix it.
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.”
Nick,
Great verse to add!
EVERYTHING
the American church
Pow.
it is the truth though isn’t it? HE is sooo much bigger and better and amazinger that we could ever dream.
May I use ‘amazinger’? Great word. ;)
of course. consider it my gift to you!
Allison,
ANd there it is. So good. Thank you for saying it.
can’t help myself :0
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.
My problems and insecurities
Jesus is greater than Satan’s lies!
Jesus is greater than my problems.
The righteous will have many troubles, but the Lord will rescue them from each and every one. Psalm 34:19
