What I Want You To Know . . .


The family came.
They gathered around the bed.
The background noise of the Intensive Care Unit intermixed with the end of life discussion.
Powerful words were issued:
"What I want you to know . . . "
The words gave reason to pause and pay attention.

There are some words that matter . . . that pierce through the soul . . . and attach to the core of our being.

The words of Christ were powerful;
The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"
The officers answered, "Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks." The Pharisees then answered them, "You have not also been led astray, have you?
"No one of the rulers or Pharisees has believed in Him, has he? "But this crowd which does not know the Law is accursed."
(John 7:45-49, NASB)


The Word of Christ changes how we think, speak, and act. 

Meditate on the Word of Christ.
Ask:  Do people hear and see the Word of Christ in me?


Learning with you to KICK START the day learning what God wants us to know,
