Jesus ignores our “reality” to give us new life. Death and death-like experiences are the reality in our lives. To ignore this reality is naïve and can bring ridicule from others. Jesus faced such ridicule when he ignored the realities that kept people trapped in death and death-like experiences. He raised them up to new life. Our stubborn Savior, Jesus, continues to ignore the death-like realities of our lives to give us the abundant life God intends for us to experience.

​

Next Step: Trust that Jesus ignores your death-like realities to give you new life. Repeat the “New Life Prayer” to increase your trust in what Jesus has done for you.
