Jes:Us

To start off with today as we looked yesterday at the evidence God wants a relationship with us it is overwhelming that God does want one with us. The biggest evidence is the verse about the torn curtain in Matthew 27:51. As we learned yesterday, the curtain was torn from the top, meaning that it could only have been done by God. The purpose of the curtain was like a door between the holy of holy and the outside world. No one was to enter this holy place except the priest and that was once a year. So, The fact that the curtain was torn like that was very significant. God wanted everyone to have a relationship with Him, not just a select few.

Further evidence is what Jesus promises when He leaves this world and ascends to Heaven, which is the gift of the holy spirit. No one who wants a relationship with some gives someone a gift as good as that. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:26. Do you think someone who wants a relationship with you wants you to remember them or do you want to remember someone who didn't want a relationship with you? I think not if there is a reference to remembrance then they want to have a relationship with you and you with them. And to go further the verse talks about teaching you things. No one who doesn't want a relationship with you will teach you things. An example of this is a teacher-student relationship. God wants a relationship with us to teach us stuff.

Even more, evidence that Jesus wants a relationship is found in Romans 8:31 and which says, What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? In the verse, it clearly states that He is with us. I don't know about you but if I don't like someone, I don't want to be around them, do you? So, God wants to be with that means he wants a relationship with us.

The evidence is clear that Jesus wants a relationship with us. Do you want to accept the relationship God wants to have with you?
