The Missing Messiah

What is missing? In our lives? In our relationships? In our prayers?

There’s no shortage of ways to fill the minutes of our days—from doomscrolling to binge-watching TV to playing video games. But will you find what you are really looking for on a screen? There’s something missing in our lives, and we all feel it.

In our instant world, Jesus has been ignored, forgotten, and reduced. He’s a life coach dedicated to our success, a therapist for our anxiety, a political ally for our causes, or a genie for our desires. In the process, we overlook the only one who can rescue us from ourselves.

If Jesus walked into the room right now, would you recognize him? Are we truly following Jesus?
