Too often our dignified and stodgy religion, our adherence to a self-image of "I'm good," gets in the way of us getting to Jesus. When Jesus walked the dusty roads of Israel during His earthly ministry, desperate people always found a way to get to Him. King David abandoned his kingly robes and danced with reckless abandon as the Ark of the Covenant returned to Jerusalem. The woman who had a 12 year hemorrhage pressed through a noisy crowd to get to Jesus and she found what she was looking for. The question we need to ask ourselves as we file into and out of our churches each week is, "Am I making a way or am I in the way?" Dignified people seldom find God; desperate people always do.
