The other day I heard a person asked who they thought Jesus was? They replied, "He's my personal Lord and Savior." Have you ever described your relationship with Jesus like that; I know I have.
There's something wrong with that answere isn't there? If you're like me it might take sometime to figure it out; so let me help. When I hear the word "personal" being used I think of things like ownership, it's mine, or it belongs to me. Do you see the problem now?
To the best of my knowledge the word "personal" doesn't appear in any of the Bibles I use. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world; no one can really say they own a "piece" of God can they? God so loves the world, which includes you and me, and I hope and pray that our love is reciprocal.
So next time you're asked to describe your relationship with the Jesus how would it sound if we just said, "He's my Lord and Savior and I hope He's your's as well?"
