Gospel Reflections #865: The Jesus who personally relates to each of us.

John 1:30 "After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me."

When Jesus came to John the Baptist to be baptized, John recognized in Jesus a purity of character unlike any he had ever seen before.

How do we recognize Jesus?

I believe our faith grows stronger as we share and acknowledge not just the Jesus described in the Bible, but the Jesus who personally relates to each of us.

It is vital that we share the Jesus we personally experience.

This is testimony and sharing.

When we speak of Jesus, we are not boasting about ourselves but about Him.

Sharing about Jesus leads us to humility and enables us to rejoice together in His presence.

Once we have touched Jesus, we cannot help but speak of Him.
