I was sitting in a pew and heard a pastor (not mine) tell hundreds of people, “You cannot get more of Jesus than you received when you first accepted him.”
As if praying a prayer and mentlly assenting to a set of doctrinal truthes is the full capacity of our experience with Christ and his kingdom.
He’s wrong.
It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
Here’s the Apostle Paul — “Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know” (1 Corinthians 8:2 NIV).
One of the highest-yielding prayers we can pray is, “More Lord! More and more of you. More of your Kingdom in my life. More of My Story nested in Your Story.”
