This weekend we kicked off a new message series called Up Close & Personal. It’s all about celebrating the season of Easter by getting to know Jesus better. As we begin this series, it’s helpful to take a moment to reflect on where you are today. How well do you feel like you know Jesus right now? What has formed your impressions about who Jesus is? Teachers? Parents? Friends? Movies? Books? One of the very best ways to get to know Jesus better is through Scripture, particularly through the Gospels. The challenge for this series is to pick one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John) and read it during this series. Today, decide which Gospel you’ll commit to reading over the next few weeks and a time of day when you can devote 10 minutes to reading it. Then, share your plan with others--it’s a powerful way to commit yourself to a goal! Comment below to share your plan and see how others are committing to get to know Jesus better during this series.

I'm picking John because I find it the most difficult to understand and think maybe if I dig in (instead of picking one I like more!) it might help me get to know Jesus in a new way. My plan is to spend 10 minutes reading it every night before I go to bed.

I started reading Mark's gospel yesterday on his feast day, asking him to incercede for me for further understanding of Jesus' and how through his words I can build a deeper relationship with Jesus. I am committing to read 15 each day.

I actually found the entire bible recorded online (just google - east to find!), so I have been listening to John's words every morning on the bus. I figured it was a more realistic way to stick to this goal and it's still proving to be a better way to spend my commute than listening to music or reading the news. While I sometimes have to rewind because of his deep and poetic writing that can be hard to follow, I've really enjoyed digging into his gospel and deepening my relationship with Christ.
