“The Most Important Question!”
Last week, in Partners in
Parenting, I shared how I had a procedure done to close a hole in my
heart. I also explained things a little
bit to the students on our morning news so that they could understand how
incredible God has made us. I told the
students that they had a camera inside my heart during the entire
procedure. A first grader asked his
teacher, “Did they see the word ‘Jesus’ in his heart?” How precious is that!!! BUT how right is the question. Ultimately, it is the most important question
for all of us: Is Jesus in our
heart?
That question reminded me of
Jesus talking about himself being the vine, and we are the branches. He talks about a relationship with Him being
“in” us and us being “in” Him. It is
only possible to have Jesus in us through a faith relationship with Him. The faith that finds him in our heart also
finds us in His heart. That is something
only faith can produce. Is Jesus in your
heart? Any other question isn’t as
important as that! [Jesus said] “Remain in me, and I will remain in you…” John 15:4a
Have every person ask one
other family member a question about their day.
Then, compare those questions to the question, “Is Jesus in your
heart?” What question is most important?
Remind everyone that Jesus
being in our heart has everything to do with faith, not what we have done.
