That which relates to us, we tend to invest in.

John
(; ).
He was born ().
He grew (, ).
He grew tired () and got thirsty () and hungry ().
He became physically weak (; ).
He died ().
And he had a real human body after his resurrection (; , ).
Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
We value those who relate to us, If you can’t relate to us how can you know what is best for us?
“Walk a mile in my shoes”?
Mentorship and Discipleship are made exponentially more potent when it involves people who can relate to one another.
If God cannot relate, how can he truly and deeply redeem?
Now, I do not believe that God had to become man to relate, he made us and knows us.
However, it is infinitely compassionate that he DID come and was human so there would never be any doubt that he could relate to us, and so that through his death on the cross could serve as the payment for our sinful nature.
He did it because he loves us.
Hope
The hope for us is that we have a God who understands us.
He doesn’t just think he knows us and acts accordingly.
He is not the government.
He is a compassionate God who walked among us, and is appealing to humanity to a point that he doesn’t leave us the same.
When you are on your knees in brokenness before God, when you’re empty and alone, when you’re tired and lazy, when you’re frustrated and stuck, when you’re hurt by a broken relationship, God sees and understands.
He also knows the way out of it all, you are not the first to experience these things and you won’t be the last.
For a very long time people have testified to a God who meets them where they are with what they NEED.
That same God extends that relationship and redemption to each one of you if you’ll be transparent and vulnerable enough to reach out and take it.
