Some time ago I wrote a blog disputing the saying that claims it is not about us at all, it's all about Jesus. It seems to make God out to be so self-centered, so I want to revisit that thought again.

There is good news for US at Jesus birth. One of his titles emphasized at that time was Immanuel -- meaning God with US. Wow! What a privilege we have, that God condescended to spend time with US!

Then we are told that Jesus would baptize US with the Holy Spirit and he sent his first disciples to become fishers of US. When he taught them to pray, he said to pray to OUR Father in heaven and to give US this day OUR daily bread and deliver US from evil. In God's eyes clothing US is more important than the rest of his creation, all we need is to ask and OUR needs will be given to US.

On the cross, Jesus did not take his own sickness, but OURS, not his own infirmities, but OURS. If we are weary, Jesus tells US to come to him for rest. He said that if we have faith even as small as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for US.

To the sheep, the King will say, Come and inherit the kingdom prepared for YOU from the foundation of the world and we have the blessed assurance that he will be with US always until the end of the age.

It is certainly about Jesus, but it is also very much about US. Jesus has had us on his mind since the beginning and has done more for US than we could even imagine.
