For the next few minutes I would love to tell and share with you the story of Jesus.

In a time like this I know for those of you that are familiar with Christianity or maybe have a Christian friend

it's pretty typical for you to have a conversation where maybe that Christian friend or your Christian talking to other Christians.

It's oftentimes in these unprecedented crises that we face.

Obviously nothing to this scale before in our lifetime.

We seem to want to give answers, explanations,

fix the problem.

I'd like to share with you for a moment

a message around the idea of just being here with

humanity in this pain and caring and loving.

I think that's a far more valuable important posture for us to take.

So the great thing is this, if you're watching on

Instagram live or YouTube or you're watching on the church home

app and you're like, I'm not really into Christians,

this would be a message that you're probably going to be like, wow, I kind of wish more Christians. This would be a message that you're probably going to be like,

wow, I kind of wish more Christians did what you're saying and so do I and I wish I did

it more. So this is going to be a challenging message for me personally and for all those watching.

I just want to say that we're all doing the best we can, but maybe, just maybe these few minutes

will help encourage you to live, love, and look like Jesus,

which certainly is our passion.

Well, I don't want to brag, but tonight

I don't even need to open this book
