Hello, Is It Me You're Looking For? Week 1 - What Do You Want?

Jesus began his ministry with a profound question: What do you want? This question reveals how Jesus approaches us in our searching - not with annoyance, but with the attention of a healer. Jesus embraces our questions and doubts rather than criticizing them. He often goes ahead of us, positioning himself where we're going before we even know we're headed there. We often try to meet spiritual needs with physical things, but only Jesus can satisfy our deepest longings. Underneath our surface desires for success or happiness lies a deeper want: to be fully known and truly loved. Jesus invites us to follow him before we have everything figured out, because illustration beats explanation.
