“Everyone who believes in Jesus has been born of God” - 1 John 5:1
This passage from John 5 helps us understand the relationship we are to have with Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and the relationships we are to cultivate with each other flowing from the Great Commandments. Love of course is at the center of all this, but what does love include from Christ’s point of view, ascended to the throne of grace where he now sits?
A heart to heart with Jesus can give purpose and meaning to our lives beyond what we can imagine. Peter went fishing to go back to his roots, possibly because he was having trouble making sense out of the past three years. And then Jesus was with him, and it began to make sense, and a life and calling were laid out before him. What is not making sense to you? Do you know he is still available to you to give you meaning, purpose and life to the full?
As Jesus, said, "I am the vine; you are the branches." As a local expression of the Church, we are the branches and as disciples and apostles, we are the leaves who must abide in Christ. How are we both connected to Christ and his Church? What does it mean to bear fruit that glorifies the Father?
No matter who we are or what station in life we have attained, we all follow. Some follow ideals or principles, some wealth or power and others follow people or personalities we may admire, need or love. This Sunday’s message will discuss why it’s worth everything to follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd. We know from the Shepherd Psalm that our Lord provides two to guide us and keep us safely on His path.
