Connect with Jesus’ Experience

One day in October at 8am, SpendaYearwithJesus will send this text-message:

Heads down, Jesus and disciples shuffle silently in shoulder-to-shoulder traffic up the stairs to the Men’s Court on Temple Mount.

I can’t think of anyone who enjoys getting stuck in traffic. And I haven’t met anyone (yet) who hasn’t been pleasantly surprised by the thought of Jesus getting stuck in traffic.

There is something life-changing about the intersection of Jesus’ experience with our experience.

Scratch that. Life-changing evokes images of inheriting unexpected millions. There is something day-impacting about the intersection of Jesus’ experience with our own daily activities, especially with the seemingly mundane and boring.

Jesus’ life story reads like ours with wake-up routines, work, meal-times, friendships, conflicts, and even getting stuck in traffic.

Pausing to reflect on our shared daily experience with Jesus is more than a pleasant diversion. The significance of Jesus’ life infuses the rhythms of our daily lives with consequence.

No one likes getting stuck in traffic, but getting stuck in traffic with Jesus seems a little more bearable.
