You know how there are those people everyone likes? You know how those people are so magnetic that everyone wants to be with them? You know how it’s as if the center of gravity shifts when they come into a room and suddenly everyone is looking at them, listening to them, laughing at their jokes and hanging on their every word? Well, what if you’re not one of those people? What if you don’t really magnetize anyone? What if nobody really hangs on your every word? Have people ever made you feel like a total loser? Maybe somebody told you that you weren’t pretty enough. Maybe they said you weren’t smart enough or successful enough. It sucks, right? It can make you feel like you don’t belong here - like you just wish you mattered to someone. I know that feeling sucks. I know it feels lonesome and desperate, but there’s something really cool that you need to know: You matter to Jesus. He loves the so-called ‘losers.’ And when I say you matter to Him, I mean He has always loved you, always wanted you, hand-picked you to be His, left eternal bliss to come down here and lay down His life in torment just to make you His very own. Jesus thinks you are the coolest person who ever lived and if you were the only one He could save, He would have gone through all that hell for you. Once, a very uncool person that everyone hated named Zacchaeus went out on a limb to see Jesus. Jesus then shocked everyone by saying that He had come into the world to seek and save folks like Zacchaeus. You matter to Jesus more than anything in the world.
