jesus in the interruptions

We’ve been conditioned to view projects as priority and people as interruptions.

Because projects have deadlines and people can be dismissed until we have more time.

Because work is instantly gratifying and the benefits of relationships don’t come until later.

Jesus was radically personal.

While others saw people as interruptions, Jesus saw them as opportunities.

He engaged with them. Poured into them.

And their experiences with Jesus changed them forever.

So impacting people profoundly starts with viewing people as highly as Jesus viewed them. It is not a shift in action – because most of us know how to engage and love someone – it is a shift of worldview.
