It's ALL about Who You Know

Someone once told me, a long time ago, that in life ...

"It's all about who you know."

Ain't that the truth?!

Trying to get a job? It's all about who you know.
Want to have fun on the weekend? It's all about who you know.
Looking for the girl of your dreams? It's all about who you know.
Need to get your car fixed, but you're broke as a joke? It's all about who you know.
Medical issues need assessed, yet you have no insurance? It's all about who you know.
You want tickets to the Justin Bieber concert? It's all about who you know.
Wondering where to go while wandering a foreign land? It's all about who you know.

This nugget of truth has helped me more recently than any chicken nugget on any dollar menu.

Beyond any employment opportunity.
Pushing past any social gain.
Further than any medical help.
Way more than any Justin Bieber hookup.

This principle - "It's all about who you know." - has changed my life.

Knowing Jesus is what it's all about. From the time I was tooting and scooting around in diapers until today, Jesus has been pursuing me. The same goes for you.

We are all created by the one true God, who came to this earth as a man (Jesus), and established the statement - "It's all about who you know." This isn't printed in some obscure translation of the Bible, but you can gather this fact by reading any portion of God's Word.

Jesus lived a life like any other man, except when tempted by the Devil, He did not sin. Rather than floating around all high and mighty, this sandal wearing son of God took the punishment for all sin. Rather than letting Satan hold Him down in death forever, He walked out of the grave three days later. Now, we all have the opportunity for this same Jesus to be the who that you know.

It really is all about who you know.
