The disciples went to Jesus to talk about how to split up their inheritance – instead, Jesus talks to them about greed.

A woman was caught in adultery – Jesus deals with  forgiveness.  He asks her, who are your accusers, and then tells her she is forgiven.

Friends ask Jesus which one of them will rule along side Him.  Instead of getting into a discussion about the kingdom, He explains to them that the least among you will be the greatest.

Jesus dealt with pride issues. If you want to rule with me then walk with me, and you will see ways to serve people; to wash their feet and feed them, to take care of their babies and  learn to give the clothes off your back.

What is an absolute? An absolute is something complete, perfect or final.  An absolute then is the perfect meaning, the completed picture or the final word.  To me then, the one absolute is Jesus.  In John 14:6, we read, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.  

In every situation, Jesus speaks of absolutes.  He explains to us that a life  should be free of greed and selfishness.  He talks of giving, sharing, sacrifice, goodness and love. And in every way He exemplified this life!

I want this kind of absolute life.  I want my life to be that example.  And to understand this absolute life, I need to KNOW Him –to  be still and know.  So daily, I ask to know Him more.  What absolutes about Jesus can I learn today?  And what absolutes will I share with others?  Today it may be pulling the tares of bitterness from my life.  Tomorrow I may see this girl a little less critical.

Take your Be Still and know time to talk with the Father about His absolutes for you.  And together we can share a life filled with the one we call our absolute – Jesus!
