Attention, Misdirection, and Grasping

Jun 29, 2025    Jason Gaboury

Our human temptation is to attempt to ‘grasp’ after things in life that God has already given us. This ancient Christian hymn invites us to re-learn the way of being human from Jesus. Jesus’ posture is not one of grasping, it’s one of generous self-giving. Therefore, in him we become ‘great’ not by grasping more but by giving what we have to serve others, as we are empowered by Jesus.
