"What do you want?" | Jesus asks

Published: June 2, 2023, 9 a.m.

\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Jesus asks this powerful question on several occasions.

\n

What do YOU want? If Jesus asked you this, how would you answer? How would you feel?

In the Greek and Hebrew, to \u201cwant\u201d is a multifaceted word that speaks to the heart, the mind and the body. In Psalm 23 when we read, The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want\u201d it means I am made whole, complete, so that I have no more need or unmet longing. It is the state of heaven \u2013 and, occasionally, heaven on earth.

Stephanie takes us deep in Scripture through three powerful Greek words today. God is inviting you to capture your imagination, heart, soul and spirit through a deeper longing for Him. It is an intellectual search, a deep desire for Him, and also a need of our body. We will connect the dots and find that Jesus gives us the blueprint to answer this question the way the Father would invite us to. Let\u2019s embrace Jesus\u2019 invitation to ask, seek and knock \u2013 only to receive, find and have the door be opened. It is the same trio of Greek words, and it will inspire us to answer His question in the way that will bring us delight, for His glory.
