He Gets Us. Do We Get Him?

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads on commercials, billboards, or the Internet, that says “He gets us.” And it means that Jesus gets us. The ad shows people who are misfits, outcast, downtrodden, marginalized, and oppressed. And the idea is that Jesus knows what that’s like and what you’re going through. And that’s true. But that’s not the whole message. Because there’s more to it than just that. I mean, are we just misfits in society? Or are we also defiant rebels against God? And so yes, Jesus gets us. He understands us and what we’re up against. But he doesn’t just get us. He wants to take us and make us into someone that understands him. Yes, Jesus gets you. But do you get him?
