What I know about Christ

What I know about Christ: He is a great friend. When I first met Christ, he was sitting on a mountain, teaching the thousands in the book of Matthew. I was in the crowd, not in the front row, but watching from a distance. Even while he was looking at the thousands of people around him, I could sense that he caught me in the crowd and was focusing on me. It was impossible to hide, I felt completely found. That day I went from a by-stander, to a follower. After that first encounter, I reminisce on what I think about Christ. Christ knows everything about me, my shortcomings and not so beautiful behavior, but yet loves me even still. Despite the fact that I'm a nobody compared the royalty and class he comes from, he still accepts me as a someone worth knowing and loving, for what purpose I don't know. A cynical mind would posit that he's trying to use me, but then I soon realize that he's God and he already has everything. So what purpose does he have in loving me? I cannot offer him any better service, for the angels already wait on his every need. I cannot offer him great wisdom or knowledge...he is a God of wisdom and knowledge. I cannot offer him love for he is already perfectly in love with His father. But still he chooses to invite me into his family, onto his side, because he delights in me. Knowing that I cannot really offer him anything in return for friendship, I am very joyful; it's an absolute privilege to be a friend of Christ. There is no reason for him to lie, he has no worldly ambition. His motives are pure: to love frivolously and to pour himself out like a drink onto the world. I aim to listen to him more, and to be near to him wherever he is, a follower all my life.
