The World is One-Size-Fits-All. Jesus Looks at the Heart of Each One of Us.

 

Jesus treats each of us individually.  Jesus is not a "one-size-fits-all" kind of savior.  That is the way the world thinks.  Jesus looks instead at the heart of each of us. See 1 Samuel 16:7, "The Lord does not look at the things people look at.  People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."  

The world accuses Christianity of making things too simple, and not accounting for the rich texture of life.  In reality it is quite the opposite.  Jesus and the Holy Spirit peer into the heart of each of us.  Nothing is too small for God. See Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
