Dust off your knowledge of Jesus

Today it is easy and cheap, and in some cases even free, to study more. I decided to enroll in one of these online courses. Since we are now recording sermons, I decided to take a videography course.

I have to say that the course, which lasts for 32 weeks, is full of information and I am learning a lot of new things. I suspect that our recordings will improve significantly as the course progresses.

But I already knew some of the things taught in the course. The course dusted it off a bit and gave me a new perspective on these things. For example, I had the idea that the film is actually many, many photos that fly in front of your eyes.

But I never really understood the concept. But now that the course has refocused on it and made it a bit clearer, I can set up the next recordings better. I now understand exactly how it works and can choose a better setting on the camera.

To make a really good production, it’s important to understand exactly how making a movie works.

We know many things about our faith. For most of us, we learned this from our parents during our childhood. But because we are so busy in the world, and because in some cases we use all our energy just to survive, that knowledge fades. Then when we face a crisis, we make snap decisions. We do not use the fundamentals of our faith, simply because we have forgotten them.

Sometimes we look for help in all the wrong places and find the kind of help that won’t get us to the right place.

It is important to understand 100% who Jesus is, where he is and what he does for us. If we understand that well, it will be much easier to face the problems of our lives for a six.

1In essence, we have such a high priest: authority with God…

This simple truth says a lot. Jesus has completed his task successfully. It is indisputable that He has made the ultimate sacrifice of Himself by dying for mankind.

Take this truth and smoke it!

Because of this saving act, God gave Jesus a seat of honor, right next to Him. At His right hand, which means that He was elevated to the highest and most prominent place in the universe.

Jesus is taller than any of the priests who ever lived. The sacrifice that he made was not the same as that of those previous priests. God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice and it was enough.

Now Jesus has all power over heaven and earth. He can save and protect all who come to God through Him.

That is our Jesus. Our Jesus is great, strong and powerful, much more than your current crisis. So turn to Him, go and sit with Him right there where He sits next to God. He will help you. He already saved you on the cross. He will save you again now and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Dust off this simple truth. Explain it again and keep it close to your heart for when you need it again.

Holy Scripture

Hebrews 8:1-5

Reflection

How much do you know about Jesus?

Is it your power source?

Do you include it enough in your life?

Prayer

Jesus, you sit next to God. You’re in control of everything, but I can still get to you. I can talk to you. WOW! It’s so big I can’t even see the whole picture. Please help me dust off my knowledge of You and become part of my whole life. Amen.
