I wonder what it would be like to meet with Jesus at your favourite place – maybe even at your place (home or work)?
What would it be like to sit around a table with Jesus, or maybe to have him work alongside of you? What sort of things would you talk about? How real would you be prepared to be?
What might we expect from Jesus?
How might he treat us? All we read in the Word of God tells us that Jesus will treat us with mercy and compassion. We will experience love from Him. His love will overflow onto us. The Word also makes it clear that with Jesus there will be no beating about the bush. He will speak truth. If there are things we need to hear that no one else will tell, we can be sure that Jesus will speak into that space – into that fear or uncertainty; into that hidden or guilty place; into the hidden satisfaction or delight. We will hear truth from him. What he says will be to build us up, to refresh and enew us.
Have we been less than friendly toward Jesus? He will still be friendly toward us. He will never give up on us. God’s promises remain. We are made for heaven and Jesus will bring his friendship to bear on us to that we experience the presence of heaven right there with us.

Look forward to sharing friendship with Jesus and your other friends in worship this Sunday @ Faith Warradale.
