Jesus

If you want to bump in to God, getting to know Jesus is an excellent place to start. God is mysterious. When God came to be one of us, he was a physical human being. Jesus is much easier to understand and to picture because he was like us. Jesus came in person to show us what God is like. No one can really have a good understanding of God, without knowing Jesus. In fact Jesus said, “No one comes to the father except through me.”

Here are some ways that you can get to know Jesus better.

1.  Read the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible. (You could use highlighter pens and colour all the bits that challenge you in one colour, the ones that inspire you in another colour and the parts that you have questions about in another.)

2.  When you pray, direct your prayers to Jesus. Talk to and listen to Jesus.

3.  Ask people who are friends with Jesus to tell you about him.

4.  Go to church or to a Christian Bible study group to learn about Jesus.

5.  Ask Jesus to come into your life and to be with you so that you can get to know him.
