Who Is This Jesus

I found this while stumbling through the internet today and it took me a minute to stop and to realize what each of these meant. It's remarkable isn't it? That He would come after us? Individuals who are so broken and so in need of Him and yet, we have this connection with the creator of the universe, and the creator of the grass.

It blows my mind - here's a summary!
