A week or so ago, my wife overheard a theological conversation between my 4 year old son and my 6 year old daughter. She shared their debate with me and I felt compelled to write a segment about it.
We can certainly learn some deep and profound truths of theology from the mouths of babes if we would take the time to not only listen, but reflect; this is precisely what I have done. If any of you have followed my wife's blog, our son and daughter have some quite unique '-isms' that usually bring a laugh. However, they can be deep and philosophical too.
Corbin made the statement that,
"Jesus is our project!"
How many of us actually treat Jesus as our project?
Dictionary.com defines
project as:
proj·ect [n. proj-ekt, -ikt; v. pruh-jekt] –noun
1. something that is contemplated, devised, or planned; plan; scheme.
2. a large or major undertaking, esp. one involving considerable money, personnel, and equipment.
3. a specific task of investigation, esp. in scholarship.
4. Education. a supplementary, long-term educational assignment necessitating personal initiative, undertaken by an individual student or a group of students.
Something that is contemplated; a large or major undertaking; an investigation; a long-term educational assignment.
Do we really view Jesus as our life's project? If we don't, then the great wisdom that was imparted to my 4 year old son from Whom I believe is responsible for this phenomenom called existence has missed its mark. This random act of brilliance is not, in my opinion, so random for it has pierced my very being in that I must make and continue to mold my way of thinking - this life is the Jesus project.
It is my prayer and desire that you too will consider this wisdom and make Jesus your life's project for the grade of passing or failing will determine your eternity.
