My Jesus Has Dazzled Me

"My Jesus has dazzled me." These were words spoken by one of those baptized at Harvest Bible Chapel, West Olive this past Sunday. All 10 of the baptized gave great testimony of the magnificent work of the Gospel in their lives. I loved it...and my Jesus dazzled me through their stories.

How has Jesus dazzled you? Have you seen it? Maybe there is a bigger question for you to answer...do you CARE to be dazzled by Jesus or are you doing just fine dazzling yourself? Well I, no the Lord, has a Word for you. And it is Psalm 104. Take a moment and read this EPIC Psalm and be dazzled by the greatness of our God!

What Do You Want?

In Matthew chapter 20, beginning at verse 20, we see a mother with her two sons approaching Jesus, and as the mother kneels before Him, Jesus presents her with a question for the ages. He asks, "what do you want?" And with great boldness, she responds by telling (not asking) Jesus to make a couple of "Kingdom Reservations." Kingdom Reservations...the seats to the right and to the left of Jesus. One for John and the other for James.

I have been wrestling with Jesus' question for the past couple of weeks and have been wondering what my response would have been. What would yours be? And what would your response reveal about who you are?

I hope you wrestle with this question as well. "What do you Want?" To serve or to be served...
