Where is Jesus?
1. In front of me leading the way – John 8:12 “I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never walk in darkness.” Light knows of the future and can illuminate what is to come while dispersing darkness that may cloud judgment and cause you to place a wrong foot.
2. Behind as my protection and guide – John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd and my sheep know me.” Shepherds walk behind the flock providing protection from a view point that sees all things.
3. Above me – Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” His ways are higher than mine. From a mountain top you can see where you are heading, the journey required and everything is placed in perspective
4. Below me – Psalm 40:2 “He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” In God I have security for where I am right now. A strong foundation so when storms come I will not be moved. Luke 6:48
5. Beside me – Proverbs 18:24. Jesus is the friend who sticks closer than a brother. A true friend, bother and lover.
Jesus is always there. Like a friend or partner, they can be right next to you, walking along side you, sitting in the theatre with you, or even sleeping in the same bed as you, yet you can still ignore them
That never means they are not there, nor does it mean that they don’t love you, value you and care for you. He does.
