Brother Jesus

Our passage for the message yesterday was about how Jesus was “made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God” (Hebrews 2:17). Jesus was fully human - imagine that! That means when Jesus then intercedes as a priest between us and God, it’s not like he doesn’t understand what it’s like to be us. He does!

During the message, Selene Zazueta shared about how it can be hard to relate to God sometimes. Instead she just talks to ‘brother Jesus’ about the things bothering her and tells him to deal with God for her. Her words line up closely with the established theology of the Apostle Paul who wrote, “Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34).

Do you have a sense that you can talk to Jesus about anything, even the things that you might otherwise not want to tell God?

Take some time today and process with brother Jesus the things you might need to turn over to God.
