The follower sent home

While on earth, Jesus didn't ask everyone to follow him as a disciple. When Jesus healed a man of demonic affliction, the man begged to follow Jesus.  Jesus had a better plan, and sent the man back to his home to testify of all that he had experienced. Sometimes the best way to follow Christ, is to simply tell your story.

How can I understand the Bible?

Those who find the Bible vague or meaningless seem to miss the point of the Bible. When we read the Bible looking for Jesus, or identifying how each passage relates to him, we begin to understand it's messages, John 5:39, 40. Have you ever asked "How does this scripture point to Jesus?"

Full Access pass - GRANTED

 Imagine being able to ask anything of the one person who can do anything. That's the promise given to those who follow Christ, Heb 4:16.  How are you using this special all access pass? Do you make it a point to pray everyday? Do you pray more than you complain?

Christ has you covered

Although we all suffer adversity and fear, Christians can take special comfort in the request Jesus made on our behalf. In John 17:11-15 Jesus asks the Father to keep us safe. Jesus doesn't ask that His followers be removed from the adversity, but rather that we are kept safe through it. Are you able to ask God to answer Christ's prayer, by keeping you safe?

Where do you find joy?

Christ's final prayer, before his crucifixion included asking that his followers know the joy he had known. Jn 17:13. This joy seems linked with enjoying the fellowship provided through the church  Phil 2:2. Where do you go when you need joy?

What name do you choose for God?

Christians are said to know God by His name. Which of God's names do you find most meaningful today? What does your choice tell you about what you need from God today? 

Still empty

The cornerstone of the Christian faith is the empty tomb left behind when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The hope that was provided then, is the same hope provided today. Do you need hope? Would you consider the hope given by the account of the risen savior, Jesus Christ?
