I would like you to meet my friend. His name is Jesus.
I’m convinced that once you meet the real Him you won’t just like Him, you’ll fall in love with Him.
If you missed part one of this series I suggest you go read it first. This is gonna be so much fun.
Every time I talk to Jesus I walk away knowing something new about Him and something new about me. When I was talking to Him the other day about what He wanted me to write about first, He went straight for a part of Him that He knows I’ve struggled with. The first characteristic I want to introduce you to is one that I thought I knew…but apparently I didn’t believe it. You ready?
Jesus is smart.
Shocker, right? Before you blow this off take a minute and ask yourself, “do I really believe that Jesus is smart?”
If we really want Jesus to lead and guide every area of our life we have to believe that He is actually smarter than we are. Jesus is an expert at everything. Whatever you do for a living, Jesus could do it better. However you raise your family, Jesus could do it better. However you live your life, Jesus could do it better. Why? Because Jesus is smart.
“Jesus is Lord” can mean little in practice for anyone who has to hesitate to say “Jesus is smart.” – Dallas Willard
Think about it. When Jesus healed someone in the gospels somehow He knew exactly which cells to change, which blood vessels to pump, which bones to move, and He was able to that just my speaking. He is the smartest man to ever live.
I’ve honestly never heard a sermon about the intellect of Christ. We don’t associate Jesus and intelligence and I think that is because we honestly think that we are smarter. If we truly relied on Jesus to teach us how to live our lives wouldn’t things go much better? We could probably be healthier, richer, kinder, and just generally full of life.
To the extent that you believe Jesus is smart is the extent that you will let Him lead your life.
Go read the gospels and simply look at the intelligence of Jesus. It really is overwhelming when you think about it. And the coolest thing is…He want’s to use His expertise in everything to lead you into fullness of joy.
Let Jesus be smart today. You might just learn something.


There are no houses directly around it and so it makes for an incredibly peaceful getaway. The pond has some of the best fishing you will ever find. There are SO many fish that when people fish there they are almost overwhelmed by how much they catch. It doesn’t matter what season it is, the trees around the pond are magnificent and simply take your breath away. It really is a little piece of heaven on earth.
