Good morning all,
The word of the day is "flummox." Confusion always
seems to mess stuff up. In any
successful operation people need to make sure that they are on the same page
with one another. In the New Testament, Jesus knew that there was a lot of
noise surrounding his disciples and followers. He had to communicate a vision
for people to understand, and at the same time combat the wrongheadedness that
was being told by the opposition.
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will
ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither
sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in
you.”
~Jn. 14:15-17
It seems to me like Jesus knew what to say in all
situations. He knew that the people following him needed answers, and the
Savior knew exactly how to encourage and challenge people the same time.
Although people who followed Jesus may have at times been flummoxed, or
confused, he always made sure to tie up loose ends and make sure that people
understood exactly why they were following him. My question is: do you know why
you follow Jesus? My prayer is that you take a look at your relationship with
the Savior and understand exactly what Jesus means in your life. This will give
you a better understanding of how you can follow him and spread his word to
others.
Praying for you,
Mo
