The Big JC

I struggle to comprehend the Lordship of Christ.  Growing up in America, all I know centers on how important my voice is.  I have a say.  I am important and everyone should consider my thoughts.

The friend perspective of Jesus fits better with my lifestyle.  I can get ahold of Jesus when I like, but don't have to consider Him unless I'm interested.  The problem is that Jesus is more than my friend.  I can't claim to have a nominal relationship with the One who gave me life and invites me to live it in the fullest.

Even if I limit my relationship with Jesus to friend, I'm not a good friend.  There's so much more I could know about Him.  This video offers joking insight into Jesus, but I feel there's truth in the idea that I should know Jesus better.

RE:Solutions

One of my New Year Resolutions is to try and blog a few times a week.  And, if I'm being honest, this is the resolution that I'm the most afraid of.  I have plenty of things to say, I'm just a little nervous about sharing them and leaving them "out there".

As I've wondered about what to post on first, I realized that the notion of creating a resolution requires that at some point there was a solution.  How can we have a re-solution unless we've had a solution to begin with.

This leads me to wonder, what was my original solution?  I feel compelled to offer the Sunday School answer "Jesus".  And, I must confess that I only stumbled across the solution.  I'm not creative enough to imagine a Savior that loves me the ways that Jesus does.  But I'm grateful for the Jesus solution.

This leads me to wonder about resolution.  Does that mean Jesus again?  Is this a theological issue like justification/sanctification?  Or maybe it all falls into some other category.  

All things being equal, I'll try and start blogging with the tension of not knowing.  Maybe this will be the place that I work it out or it begins to make more sense.

Resolutions were much easier when it was just about dieting...
