Yes, Jesus really DOES, get us.

He gets how broken we are.

He gets how sinful we are.

He gets how idolatrous we are.

He gets how desperately wicked our hearts are.

He gets how rebellious against the rule of God we are.

He gets how unbelieving we are.

He gets how wickedly we treat each other.

He gets how shattered the image we were created in is.

He gets how violent we are.

He gets how selfish we are.

He gets how we love ourselves supremely.

He gets how dreadfully sin has distorted every last vestige of His image in us.

He gets how truly lost and unwilling to seek Him, His Kingdom and His righteousness we are.

What we don’t get is that all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.

We don’t get that outside of Christ we are: Dead in Trespasses and sins; Following the course of this world; Following the prince of the power of the air; Carrying out the desires of the body and the mind; ‌We’re by nature children of wrath; Separated from Christ‌; Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; ‌Strangers to the covenants of promise; Having no hope; ‌Without God in the world.

We don’t get that unless we are born again, we cannot even see the kingdom of God. And that we are at present under the wrath of God.

And we don’t get that God sent His only true Son, God in human flesh, Jesus Christ, to take on the wrath of God against human sin, so that all who put their trust in Him as their sin-bearer, might be forgiven all of their guilt and sin, be born again, and have everlasting life.

He gets us alright. And gave Himself to rescue us from ourselves and the just wrath of God we have brought upon ourselves by our sin.

He gets us.

Which is why there is salvation in no other name, than that of Jesus Christ.
