Description
We ask whether it’s possible to stay close to Jesus and still miss Him, and why being moved by the Gospel is not the same as surrendering to it. We connect Jesus washing feet with Paul’s sweep of salvation history and push toward one choice: stop admiring and start imitating.
• proximity not the same as discipleship
• Paul telling God’s story from Israel to Jesus
• faith and personal life as part of salvation history
• Jesus’ call to do what we understand
• discipleship as action not admiration
• following Jesus through humility and service
• receiving the person in front of us as receiving Christ
• betrayal met with steady love
So do not just understand this. Do it. Serve. Forgive. Show up. Love when it costs you something.
