This week I took my wife on a lunch date of sorts, and we ate Sushi. Now it was very nice of me to go there right? There are two things that I enjoy a lot and my wife just doesn’t care for. She’s cool with it, but it’s not her style. I like Jazz music, and I like Sushi. As we sat and talked and I ate my sushi and she enjoyed a salad. She made the suggestion that we go there. I asked her to try the sushi, and she politely declined. My wife’s just not a sushi eater. But I was sharing the experience with her. She invited me to eat sushi, and she had the experience with me. My wife’s eaten sushi before and I bet you’re wondering where I’m going with the sushi thing. Sushi is a lot like walking with God. You don’t know until you tried. My wife tried sushi, and she tried God and God won out. My wife at one point said she didn’t like sushi. Then she tried it and she agreed. I said the same thing. I don’t like sushi. I tried it about 10 years ago and I love good sushi. I love jazz, but you have to experience jazz. You can’t just listen to jazz. To hear the musician modulate a scale, or take off on an improv and actually see him playing the instrument either in person or in your head, that’s jazz. Sushi, Jazz, and Jesus, have to be experienced.
There are a lot of people that believe in God. There are a lot of students that claim to follow Christ. There are a lot who claim to know God, but they don’t try him out, for real. They don’t experience God by putting their faith in Christ.
So base your experience in Christ through the Word he reveals to us. That Word is truth!
