It’s nice when someone remembers our name. When others take a positive, personal interest in us, it warms our hearts. We often think God is too busy to take an interest in us. God cares for “the world” and loves “everybody”, but I must be a low priority for the Creator of the Universe. Instead, the Bible gives Jesus the additional name of “God-with-us”. Many of the Bible’s stories of Jesus are encounters of personal care for individuals. Some of Jesus’ dying words are intensely personal rather than broadly general. And when Jesus returns alive from the dead, he continues to live for individuals—for me and for you.
