Jesus On A Donkey: Finding Peace Amidst Loud Expectations

Описание: No show of force instead a donkey honestly if god truly wants to help why does he come so unspectacularly why does jesus sometimes seem so quiet when you desperately need something loud if you're currently at the point where you say i want to trust jesus again but i don't even know how then definitely stick around until the end at the end i'll pray for us and give you a challenge for this week that's really practical I'm now going to read the Bible passage from Matthew verses 4 to 11 from the Hope for All translation. I'll take care of this now a donkey represents peace humility closeness i'm not coming to impress i'm coming to save and this is precisely where it starts to hurt because we often want a jesus who makes our lives as quick as a power update install it once and everything works but jesus comes differently Perhaps you know this feeling. But what if Jesus doesn't come to inflate you but to carry you The problem isn't that Jesus is insufficient The problem is that our expectations are sometimes louder than his nature. Jesus doesn't want to perform your life like a show He wants to calm your heart Do you know that feeling when you're lying in bed at night and your mind just won't stop racing you scroll you think you calculate you play out scenarios and the more you try to calm yourself the worse it gets and at some point you realize i don't just want solutions i want security i want someone who says i'm here i'm holding you jesus on the donkey is exactly that message not look how tough i am but don't be afraid i'm coming to you and do you know what that means for trust trusting a new sometimes doesn't mean now i'm not afraid anymore but i'm afraid but i'm still going to let jesus get closer and now comes a really important point this isn't about religion as a show it's about jesus as a person In the story the people cheer. At the end the people ask who is that And the answer is that's Jesus the prophet. You can be religious and still miss out on Jesus You can know the church and not really trust Jesus You can do Christian things and still be empty inside because religion often works like this prove yourself be better strive then you're okay but jesus works like this come to me i'm okay with you and from there we'll change your life Maybe you're here today and you've had bad experiences with the church.
