2026 April 5th - Afternoon Sermon Reflection：Don't Miss Jesus
Don't Miss Jesus
Listening to this sermon really made me think about how easy it is to misunderstand who Jesus is.
The example at the beginning about Joshua Bell playing in a subway really stuck with me. Someone incredibly valuable can be right in front of us, and we still miss it. That’s kind of what happened with Jesus. People saw Him, heard Him, even watched Him die—and still didn’t recognize Him.
At the cross, everything looked like failure. On Good Friday, Jesus was mocked, beaten, and crucified like a criminal. If I were there, I wonder what I would have thought. Would I have believed He was really the Son of God? Or would I have doubted too?
But then the signs happen—the curtain tearing, the earth shaking, even the tombs opening. It’s like God is saying, “Look carefully. This is not just another death.”
And what really struck me most is the centurion. He wasn’t a disciple. He wasn’t even a Jew. Yet after seeing everything, he says, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
It makes me pause and ask myself: do I say that just with my mouth, or do I actually believe it in my heart?
Because if Jesus really is the Son of God, then everything changes. It means His death wasn’t meaningless—it was for us. It means we actually have access to God. It means there is hope beyond sin and even death.
I think the biggest takeaway for me is this:
Don’t miss Jesus.
He’s not hidden, but sometimes I’m just not paying attention. Like the people in the crowd, I can be close to Him and still not truly see Him.
So my prayer after this sermon is simple:
Lord, help me to really see who You are—and to believe it, not just say it.
