BEING LIKE JESUS.

"Very often we distance ourselves from Jesus. We say, " What Jesus knew we cannot know, and what Jesus did we cannot do. " But Jesus never puts any distance between Himself and us. He says, " I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father." ( John 15:15 ) and " In all truth I tell you, whoever believes in Me will perform the same works as I do myself , and will perform greater works" ( John 14:12 ).

Indeed we are called to know what Jesus knew and do what Jesus did. Do we really want that, or do we prefer to keep Jesus at arm's length? "

Henri Nouwen.

I pray that each of you who read this will have had a life changing encounter with Jesus, the risen Son of God. Please do not keep Jesus at arms length. He spread out His arms on a tree and died so that you can have a relationship with your Heavenly Father because of His sacrificial death.

If you have never had a relationship with Jesus why not ask Him to come into you life by the power of His Spirit ? If you have lost your first love please don't keep Him at arms length. Come back into His loving arms today. Then He will enable you to do these works that He speaks about, in His name.
