sooo, i have a question for you…seriously…if you were going to a…
party with Jesus…
what would bring???
what would you expect to happen???
who else would be at the party???
who else would you invite to the party???
just curious…
party with Jesus…take two…
Wow… what a cool project. You know the first thing that came to mind is this box I put together when I was a little kid – 7 or 8 years old. In it are some things that I cherished back then. Things that I wanted to give to Jesus when I meet him. A small bible, a pot holder, a matchbox fire engine, a rock, an arrowhead, a piece of gold, a ribbon for winning a race in school. As I look back, I can see they were not my perfect things, rather things that I got from others or played with a lot until I really couldn’t play with them anymore. That box is still intact in my garage. Sitting. Waiting. This would be the first thing I bring to the party.
what would I expect to happen??? Just being able to talk with Him. To visit with Him. To ask questions. To listen. I am really not sure of everything, but I would love to have a face-to-face conversation. So I imagine it would be like my prayer life, except in person.
who else would be at the party & who would I invite??? For starters… I would love for this to be a private party. Not out of selfishness reasons, rather just to have some personal time. Then I would love to open the party to those that do not believe. Give them a chance to ask. Give them a chance to talk and listen.
Michael…I love your comments…love that box you made for Jesus!
Jon- I think this party is such a neat idea for all of those who work so hard serving. I hope they feel loved and appreciated for sure. From what Michael said, for them to feel like they are having a face to face conversation. Have the music fit that thought. When they are worshipping let the songs be direct love songs to Jesus and even from Him straight their heart. I know from being heavily involved this past year in ministry that burn out comes easy. It’s easy to wonder if what you are doing is really important some days.
If I was going to really, physically meet Jesus…I’d just want to sit and take it all in….nothing fancy…nothing flashy…just simply sit in His glory and be renewed.
i would want to dance with him.
he would be smiling at me.
and when the party was over we would sit quietly and talk.
@michael – i love the selfishness…that’s good!!!
@jen – i’m sure they will feel loved and appreciated…Jesus is going to love on all of us!!!
@cindy – if i danced with God, He wouldn’t be smiling…He would be cracking up laughing at me!!!
