Hello Friend,

Thanks for visiting and for your thoughtfully comprehensive comment.😀

"Jesus told everyone who he was in every word he uttered."

Understood and agreed. Hanging out with Jesus was clearly an elevating experience for his closest friends. Yet we don't see him berating them when they ask him naive questions (e.g. Mark 6:37). And we surely see him using mundane activities (e.g. purchasing food, washing feet) as teaching moments. I find this compilation of questions Jesus was asked interesting and instructive.

"When you start knowing yourself you see commercials as being sorta silly. They are trying to make you hurt yourself."

Partially true... many commercials do solicit harmful action (e.g. gambling, borrowing, living beyond your means, voting, injecting yourself with poorly tested genetic experiments, etc.) However, I learned early in life that the essence of honest salesmanship is connecting the real needs of people with solutions that meet those needs. Commercial messages that accomplish that connection advance the Kingdom of God.

"So you would tell Jesus all the things that you feel and you would never really get to know Jesus."

The scriptures present us with a focused look at a minuscule percentage of the time Jesus spent on earth during his first advent. Arguably, that tiny slice of his time is the most important for us to know.

However, as a truly human being, Jesus also lived every moment of a normal waking and sleeping human life, and he faced every mundane decision that we face (‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’) without a moment's worry. And his disciples—who he considered his friends—lived with him and observed all of it intimately.

Although the "gory details" are beyond my ability to imagine at the moment, the fact that Jesus has promised me a never-ending personal relationship at least as intimate as human marriage leads me to believe that I will one day become privy to such relatively trivial, yet nonetheless humanly essential details.
