Are you spending time with God? In what context do you spend time with God? To understand God, we must not only spend time with him but we must spend time with him in the proper context. Not all contexts are equal.
Jesus created only one context in which we can download a high fidelity understanding of God. That is right - only one.
The best context for downloading a high fidelity understanding of God is the story that took place on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. On the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection, we tortured and killed the God who loves us. Then he forgave us.
Jesus had many options through which he could have revealed God to us. The option he settled upon was the story of torture, death and forgiveness that took place on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Into the position of prominence in the showcase of Christianity, Jesus enshrined the story of torture, death and forgiveness.
Jesus leveraged our understanding of forgiveness into an understanding of God. To know forgiveness is to know God.
Make pilgrimage to the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Witness for yourself what took place there. Testify to the truth about the God who forgave us for torturing and killing him. Save the world. In the process of saving the world, you save yourself.
