Apparently bloggers like to play a game called "Tag" and I am "it". I have been tagged by A Former Leader. The question is- What are 5 Things you dig about Jesus?
1. He always knew exactly what to say. He never walked away from a conversation and then 10 minutes later slapped His forehead and thought "That's what I should have said!"
2. He was never afraid to tell the truth. He was not afraid of being unpopular.
3. He turned everything upside down. The last would be first, the first would be last, the way to find life is to give it up.
4. He died for me while I was still a sinner, when I was His enemy.
5. He is as real now as He ever was and ever will be. He is constant, unchanging. I always know what I'm getting with Him. The only surprise is that when I think I'm beginning to understand how much He loves me, He showers me with even more.
I guess I'm supposed to tag 5 other people, but since I'm pretty new to this, I don't know many people. The only person that I "know" that has not been tagged yet is malegra. If you are reading this blog and want to play along, please post your 5 things that you dig about Jesus and link back to the originator of this game of tag, John Smulo.
About Me
- Martha
- A wife, mom, artist. I relate to Martha - I AM Martha. I tend to get caught up in the details of life, sometimes I have a hard time stopping to smell the flowers. There is nothing wrong with being Martha- hey, we're the ones who get things done! The world needs Marthas! I just need to remember to choose what is best, and take time to sit at His feet each day.

Martha,
This is excellent. I can see a real love and relationship with Jesus in your response. Thanks for participating in this.
Thanks for the tag! I put my five here
Hi Martha-- I really like your 5 things, especially #2 & #3. The one that really got me thinking, though, was #5: "He is as real now as He ever was and ever will be." You bet!! :)
My experience of Jesus' real-ness is a little different from yours, though... I find I never know what all I'm getting. He surprises me all the time, most often when I least expect it (I guess that would be the surprise, huh? yes, quite the rocket scientist am I)... yes, with how much he loves me, but also about all kinds of other things. I remember C.S. Lewis writing "He's not a tame lion..."
Thanks for your witness and for getting me to thinking!
yours in the struggle,
max
