Peace of Pi

"Now while he was Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man."
John 2:23-25

Christ is beyond my understanding. I see it this way with the knowledge of the whole Bible: Christ was God and Man. He came to Earth to bring us back to God. This verse in John brings things to a reality level. Christ could not entrust himself to Man because Man is evil (we crucified Christ). That would not be a God thing to do. God is Holy, man is not.

Here is the great thing I continually try to wrap my head around. Christ knew Man and our darkness yet he loved us till death on a cross. This is why God sends his Son down here John 3:16 (ever heard of it). Christ from the beginning says I can't commit myself to Man, because you are not Holy. I commit myself to God. God sends Christ to die for the people he can not commit himself to. Christ's commitment to God is crazy. I just love how Christ knows not to entrust himself to Man; Christ knew these same people would post him on a cross. Christ knew at the beginning of his ministry that these people would yell "crucify him" yet he is not discouraged to love them unconditionally.

I want to know Christ. To know Christ is to know God. Jesus says this multiple times. The way Jesus lived gets to me. I want to live like Him. I want to have a relationship as strong as his to the Father.
