“He Does More Than Get Us”
Jesus gets us, and that’s a good thing. He understands us fully and is completely aware of every fault, failure, victory, and triumph. This understanding comes from His omniscience and the fact that He became one of us in the incarnation. He has lived as a man on the same planet with the same problems as us. He does indeed get us.
However...He does so much more than that. If all he did were get us, we would still be dead in our sins and trespasses. If all he did were get us, we would be hopeless and helpless in the face of death. If all he did were get us, we would still be headed for hell.
But Jesus does more than get us.
He created us and sustains us. He came near to us and redeems us. He cleanses us and transforms us. He restores us and delivers us. He loves us and heals us.
And He saves us!
If all we needed was to be understood, we could go to any number of counselors, psychologists, or any other human being who has dealt with issues similar to ours. But we needed much more than to be merely understood.
It’s good that Jesus gets us. It’s even better that He does so much more!
Praising Him with You,
Bro. Matt
