Gospel Reflections #836: When we choose to center our lives on Jesus rather than ourselves

Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet without sin."

Jesus knows everything about us.

He knows what we try to hide, what we conceal, and the sins we cannot let go of.

Jesus came into this world to understand us completely, experiencing everything we experience.

Even though He knows everything about us, Jesus does not remove our hardships and suffering.

He knows that doing so would not change our way of life toward Him.

Our peace comes from experiencing Jesus, who remains beside us despite knowing everything about us, and God, who guides us toward Himself without abandoning us.

When we confess our true selves to Jesus and seek His help, when we choose to center our lives on Jesus rather than ourselves, we come to know God in the truest sense through trials experienced within His grace.
