Where Jesus Really Hangs Out Will Challenge Everything You Believe

Where do you find Jesus? Not where you might expect. The second statement Jesus made from the cross—"Today you will be with me in paradise"—reveals something profound about God's character and kingdom values.

While hanging between two thieves, Jesus demonstrated that He's unashamed to associate with society's outcasts. Rather than seeking the company of the powerful or influential, He chose to spend His final hours with condemned criminals. This reveals the upside-down nature of God's kingdom, where the first become last, the weak are strong, and the poor are rich.

Many of us struggle to enter difficult spaces or connect with those in desperate situations. We worry about what to say or how we'll be perceived. But when born again, we receive new spiritual eyes that see value where the world sees none. Jesus shows that a single soul is worth everything to God—so valuable that if that thief had been the only person who would ever believe, Christ would have endured the cross for him alone.

We're experiencing an unprecedented spiritual awakening across the earth, more than revival—a sovereign demonstration of God that's intensifying. He's calling believers not to comfort but to challenging places: prisons, homeless shelters, areas of exploitation and poverty. Why? Because that's where Jesus already is. If you want to experience His presence and glory, go where others won't go.

The Lord has no problem attracting crowds, but making disciples involves a refining process that makes us moldable for His purposes in uncommon places. His love doesn't overlook anyone, focusing not just on multitudes but on individuals. When we realize we're personally seen by Christ, it's overwhelming. He's setting the record straight about who He is—not through talk but by showing Himself to a world in desperate need.
