How the Gospel Confronts and Transforms the Modern Epidemic of Superficiality

In today's world, we feel the constant pressure to be productive—so much so that we keep ourselves busy and do things in a rush. Yet by doing so, we end up with shallow thinking, superficial judgments, and ultimately, transactional relationships. After all, how can we truly get to know someone if we’re always passing them by in a hurry? Jesus teaches us instead to practice presence and spend meaningful time with others, as He did with the disciples and as He continues to do with us, even after his death and resurrection. Only in this way can we truly cultivate deep, meaningful relationships.

Scripture:

Revelation 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
