\u201cCome to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.<\/span><\/span> Take up my yoke and learn from me,<\/span> because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.<\/span><\/span><\/em> For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.\u201d<\/em> – Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30<\/a>)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You reveal the path of life to me;<\/span><\/em>
\nin Your presence is abundant joy;<\/span><\/em>
\nat Your right hand are eternal pleasures.<\/span><\/em> – Psalm 16:11<\/a><\/p>\n

Knowing Jesus is the most life-changing, transformative experience of my whole life.<\/p>\n

He is thought of as a religion, when, in fact, He is all relationship. We throw up this religion thing like a wall around Him. He loves us and desires for us to know Him as fully as it is possible for us as broken and flawed humans. He removes the barriers between us.<\/p>\n

Jesus…do you know Him?<\/p>\n

Singer\/song-writer Danny Gokey<\/a> raises an anthem on who Jesus is in the song More Than You Think I Am<\/em><\/a>. It’s written in first-person as if Jesus Himself is speaking to us.<\/p>\n

The lyrics call to mind so many verses in Scripture that describe the heart of God that we see in Jesus.<\/p>\n

Worship<\/a> with me.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
You always think I’m somewhere on a mountain top
\nBut never think behind bars (Psalm 139:7-8<\/a>)
\nYou’d be amazed the places that I’d go to be with you (Romans 8:38-39<\/a>)
\nWhere you are<\/div>\n
So forget what you’ve heard
\nWhat you think that you know
\nThere’s a lot about me
\nThat’s never been told (John 21:25<\/a>)<\/div>\n
I’m more than you dreamed
\nMore than you understand
\nYour days and your times
\nWere destined for our dance (Psalm 31:15<\/a>)
\nI catch all your tears (Psalm 56:8<\/a>)
\nBurn your name on my heart
\nBe still and trust my plan (Psalm 46:10<\/a>)
\nI’m more than you think I am (am, am, oh)
\nMore than you think I am (am, am, oh)<\/div>\n
Rumor has it there’s a gavel in my hand [Jesus is our righteous judge, and he has already taken our sin on Himself. – 2 Timothy 4:7-8<\/a>]
\nI’m only here to condemn (Romans 8:1-2<\/a>)
\nBut let me tell you secrets you would’ve never known
\nI think of you as my best friend (John 15:15<\/a>)<\/div>\n
So much has been said
\nEven doubted my name
\nBut I’m showing you now
\nWho I really am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m more than you dreamed
\nMore than you understand
\nYour days and your times
\nWere destined for our dance
\nI catch all your tears
\nBurn your name on my heart
\nBe still and trust my plan
\nI’m more than you think I am (am, am, oh)
\nMore than you think I am (am, am, oh)<\/div>\n
Let me open your eyes to see the heart of me, differently, oh
\nCome closer than you’ve ever been
\nLet me in like never before (Revelation 3:20<\/a>)
\nBring me every broken part
\nThe wounds and scars of who you are
\nAnd hide in me and you will see (Psalm 27:5<\/a>)<\/div>\n
I’m more than you dreamed
\nMore than you understand
\nYour days and your times
\nWere destined for our dance
\nI catch all your tears
\nBurn your name on my heart
\nBe still and trust my plan
\nI’m more than you think I am (am, am, oh)
\nI’m more than you think I am (am, am, oh)
\nMore than you think I am (oh, oh, oh, oh)
\nMore than you think I am
\nI’m more than you think I am*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That song calls for a response, right?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The three songs below are all responses we could offer…or just a prayer lifted to the God of this universe who came so close to us in His Son, the Savior Jesus.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Matt Maher’s Lord, I Need You<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
Hillsong Worship’s What a Beautiful Name<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
Kari Jobe’s I Am Not Alone<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you know Jesus?<\/a> Oh, I hope so.<\/div>\n
