You were there.

I heard an amazing statement while listening to a sermon in my Text and Traditions class and it was something along the lines of "Until we understand the nature of who Jesus was, we wont know where to find him". This sermon was based on the story of when Jesus was at the temple and his parents were looking for him all over Jerusalem and the last place they finally looked was the Temple and that was where Jesus was.

I find that this is message profound because a lot of the time I don't know where to find Jesus and in that sense don't know where to find that sense of connection connection with him. But when we look in the scriptures we can learn that our bodies are temples of the holy sprit. And when I finally understood that I learnt that in reality the place where Jesus was, was at the temple as the holy spirit (which is apart of the trinity of God which is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit).

I guess in this short but powerful revelation, we can look everywhere for Jesus and question where He is in our world, but until we understand the nature of who God is we wont understand that He dwells within us as the Holy Spirit. And that He has always been with us. In that sense when we understand the nature of who God is, we can understand furthermore how amazing grace is and how He continues to bless abundantly.
