“Or maybe yes?” The question that remains.

After setting aside some prejudices and discovering a Jesus who was perhaps different from the one we imagined, a question inevitably arises: "What do I do with Him?"

It's the same question Jesus asked His disciples. A simple question, but one that has shaken minds and hearts for two thousand years: "Who do you say I am?" Not "what others think," but you. You.

This isn't an invitation to embrace a religion or to join a church. It's something much more personal: getting to know a person. A person who, according to the Gospels, truly lived, truly loved, truly died...and who, according to millions of people around the world, truly rose again.

Jesus doesn't ask for an immediate answer. But honest reflection, that does. For many, the first response is "No, thanks." But then, along the way, they discover that this Jesus isn't the "religious type" they imagined. He doesn't impose a doctrine on you; He offers you a relationship.

Perhaps you're still in the "No, thanks," camp. But if even a small part of you is wondering, "Or maybe?"—then it's time to answer that question. Not with words, but with your heart.

God bless you.
