Sometimes the people in your life are flat-out wrong about you, aren’t they? Every time you’re around them, they want to talk about that one thing. Of course they do... it’s the most obvious-looking, so-called problem in your life and everyone you know wants to fix it right now. For instance, maybe you’re single and everyone you know is always trying to fix you up with the right Christian guy (or gal for you fellas) and the the truth is, you wish everyone would just drop it. Now, the folks in your life really do love you and I’m sure they have your best in mind, but dang, sometimes they have you figured the wrong way around, right? Here’s the awesome thing: Jesus doesn’t. Jesus knows the problems that are on the surface of your life, and He also knows the stuff you have never showed anyone. He sees the immediate issues as well as the stuff you’ve buried deep down and what’s more, He knows what needs to be worked on the most. One time some guys brought a paralyzed man to Jesus, and to everyone’s confusion, Jesus looked at the guy and said, “Take heart son, your sins are forgiven.” Now, you know everyone there was thinking the same thing: “Uh Jesus, it’s his legs...” But Jesus knew what the real problem was. Jesus knew that this guy had some guilt way deep down over something he had done that he knew was wrong. Jesus knew the guilt was a more immediate problem than the legs and spoke forgiveness, then healing. Jesus knows you too. He sees the real problem that’s eating you up inside and wants to deal with that first.
