Integrating Missional Thinking and Culture by W. David Phillips

That’s My Jesus

<br />

My Jesus

Bothered
not by man’s anxiety
but by his brokenness

Passionate
not letting his emotions drive him
but still loving us with all his heart

Human
not only was his body exhausted
but he wanted us to identify with him.

That is my Jesus.

Holy
true that sin did not taint him
but he still muddied his hands with mine

Divine
true that he was God
but he stooped to man’s level

Light
the one who created light is the light
but calls us to let ours shine

That is my Jesus
