This was when Jesus became the center of everything to me. I began to understand that if I wanted to see God, I needed to see Jesus. He was the image of God for us. Everything I didn’t understand about the Bible and about the Church was now filtered through the lens of Christ. If Jesus came to show us what God is truly like, then perhaps there have been ways—so many ways—in which we have missed it. Myself included. We aren’t so different from the people of Jesus’ own time here on earth: He is not the king we expect.
