Obsessed with Jesus
“People who are obsessed with Jesus give freely and openly, without censure. Obsessed people love those who hate them and ow can never love them back.”
“People who are obsessed with Jesus aren’t consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God’s Kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.”
“People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him.”
“Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don’t always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this ear. As Martin Luther put it ‘There are two days on my calendar: this day and that day.”
“A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle. Obsessed people know that you can never be ‘humble enough,’ and so they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known.”
-Francis Chan Crazy Love
