Jesus offers us a relationship with God, a relationship that transforms every aspect of our lives. He calls everyone to the same journey, no matter who we are, or where we lead. He calls us to lay down our lives, to lay down our self-sufficiency, our self-centeredness, our pride and fear. He calls us to follow Him in humility, with confidence in who He is and what He is doing. He calls us to let Him remake us according to His purpose and for His glory. Make no mistake, the road isn’t easy. But it is a good road, the road to life. And Jesus, our leader, has gone before us.
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.—John 17:2
Prayer: Father, thank You for granting Jesus the authority to give us eternal life. We pray that others will see You living in us as we lead in His name today, amen.
