What’s your Handle?
I am always amazed at hearing the testimonies of other Followers of Jesus. How they met Him, how he showed up in their lives and how they have been forever changed from that first encounter. When we first started this journey, months ago, not hours ago, we as a team began emailing out our testimonies to one another. We only managed through a few individuals and I was thinking, since we are STILL ON A PLANE, maybe we can continue in person what was begun online. I am reminded of John writing that he had handled Jesus, this is an odd choice of words to me, and yet upon thinking of it (and visiting dictionary.com) I am reminded that to handle something you become familiar with both its form and its purpose. John was familiar with Jesus not just in a theoretical sense, much more, he KNEW him and he KNEW what he was about. I wonder sometimes if in our busy lives, we forget that Jesus is meant to be handled. For only in handling him and can we then hand Him to others. Tell someone your Jesus story today and do it with your hands FULL.
