Family Movie Night

For family moving night this week, we watched Take Me Out to the Ball Game starring Gene Kelly, who was one of the most well-known actors in the mid-20th century. Although many of us probably haven’t even heard of them.

However, if I were to ask if you know who LeBron James is, you likely would say, “Yes.”

The younger among us know who Selena Gomez is and who Justin Bieber is, right?

But how well do we really know people we say we know? What about the person next door? We may know a name, but what do we really know?

What about Jesus?

If I asked someone on the street who Jesus is, most people would have an answer. It may be an incomplete answer or an altogether wrong answer, but they would have some idea about who Jesus is. They probably have at least heard of him, even if they don’t really know much about him. And having heard of him, they probably assume they know more about him than they really do.

What if I were to ask you? “Who is Jesus?”
