A personal relationship with Jesus

I haven't read Robert Webber's book The Divine Embrace, but Scot McKnight has been blogging about it. Scot posted this quote from the book and it hit exactly where my mind was being taken this morning.

When asked if he has a personal relationship with Jesus, Webber said:

“You’re asking the wrong question. What is important here is not that I in and of myself achieve or create a personal relationship with God, but that God has a personal relationship with me through Jesus Christ, which I affirm and nourish” (89).
