Do you know my Jesus?

Came across this napkin the other day.  It came from our Israel trip and it is going to have a place in the "final" scrapbook -- one day!

Yes, you are reading it right; it does say pizza and Jerusalem together.  :-)

Jacob's Pizza was just across the narrow, cobblestone street from our quaint hotel.  After a few days of pita and humus for lunch, a few shekels for some pizza sounded like a fabulous little splurge.  The pizza was DELICIOUS, even by American standards, but the short and very direct conversation with Jacob himself was one of the amazing experiences of our trip to the Holy Land.  

We ordered our slices of pizza with clearly American accents.  The cashier - Jacob - inquired where we were from and what brought us to Israel.  We explained that we were on a trip with Jerusalem University College.  Jacob then asked, "Do you know my Jesus?" Period.

WOW!  No beating around the bush, no formalities, just, "Do you know my Jesus?"  We had a little discussion and are pretty sure that we know the same Jesus.  :-)

Still moved by that little question with HUGE implications.  What a challenge!  Oh to be that bold!  That is my prayer.  It's my desire.

Do YOU know my Jesus?

The most crucial, amazing thing to ever be shared...JESUS!  

Without Him

Without Him, I could do nothing.

Without Him, I'd surely fail.

Without Him, I would be drifting,

Like a ship without a sail.

Without Him, I would be dying.

Without Him, I'd be enslaved.

Without Him, life would be worthless,

But with Jesus, thank God, I'm saved.  

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus.

Do you know Him  today?

Do not turn Him away.

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus.

Without Him, how lost I would be.  

Do you know my Jesus?  Can I introduce you to Him?

John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold!  The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
