When God, your God, throws the nations out of the country that God, your God, is giving you and you settle down in their cities and houses, you are to set aside three easily accessible cities in the land that God, your God, is giving you as your very own. Divide your land into thirds, this land that God, your God, is giving you to possess, and build roads to the towns so that anyone who accidentally kills another can flee there. (Deuteronomy 19:1-3 ESV)
Personal
The God of the universe is not, for Christians, a far-off all-powerful being.
The God of the universe is not, for Christians, a god who does not know us.
The God of the universe is not, for Christians, impersonal, irrelevant, or ignorant of us.
Notice the repeated phrase in these verses. It actually shows up more strongly in Hebrew. God is not merely a God, He is your God. God is not merely a nation-moving powerhouse. He is your God. God is not merely a provider for the world. He is your God.
But not because of how desirable we are. Not because of our value as skilled members of His team. Not because He needs us.
But only because of Jesus.
Jesus, though His life, and death, and life, bridges the gap. And He is the only bridge.
Jesus, through His life, and death, and life, gives us relationship with God. And He is the only Way.
Jesus, through His life, and death, and life, makes God personal to us, and us to Him. And Jesus is that person that makes Him personal.
