Facebook

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

I spend time catching up with people via FACEBOOK. It's a great way to communicate when you're not close to loved ones and it's a great way to re-connect with people. I've got people on my friends list whom I went to primary school with, lost contact with and the re-connected with them via FACEBOOK. It's an interesting thing..

This is FACEBOOK's marketing slogan: "Facebook is a social utility that connects you with the people around you.."

Does that sound familiar to you? Perhaps your familiarity isn't word for word, but the concept and main theme/idea of FACEBOOK definately sounds familiar to me.

Scripture tells us that we are broken people. We are sinners. The Hebrew word for sin is 'Hamartia' and that means 'to miss the target' or to 'fall short'. So our target is to be more and more like our Holy God and we miss that target and fall short of it. Because of this it can be easy to become 'disconnected' with God.

However, God sent His only Son Jesus to re-connect us with God. He sent Jesus to be that bridge, that connection between us and God. Because of what Jesus did on the cross we can be connected and be in a relationship with God. Hallelujah!

Perhaps a slogan for Jesus could be.....

Jesus is a loving, supernatural man who by His sacrificial death on the cross and miraculous resurrection makes it possible for us to connect and be in a relationship with a holy and perfect God.
