This is an excerpt from Not My Jesus Bible Study by Shane Pruitt.
Did you know God never has to guess? He knows everything, all the time. God is never confused or ignorant about anything. According to Matthew 10:30, He even knows the number of hairs on your head. Most of us tend to see God as either big, powerful, and somewhat distant or near to us and personal. However, the Bible teaches that Jesus is both powerful and personal.
"But even the hairs of your head have all been counted."
Matthew 10:30 CSB
The average human has just over 100,000 strands of hair, and Jesus can account foreach of yours. Every single time a strand of hair falls off your head or grows back; He knows. Jesus is not only powerful enough to have perfect knowledge of you, He’s also close enough to care.
This truth is incredibly important, because life is a series of highs and lows. Sometimes, it feels like we experience a lot more lows than highs. In those moments, we can fall into the trap of believing the lie that Jesus is distant from us, as if He is completely unaware of our struggles, or He doesn’t care, or worse yet—if He is aware and does care, He doesn’t have the power to do anything about it.
Although these feelings and doubts can be very real, they’re based on a incomplete view of Jesus. The real Jesus isn’t just sent by God—He is God. If it is true that the real Jesus is God, then it is also true that the real Jesus is all-knowing, all-caring, all-loving, and all-powerful as well.
