Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God’s throne where
there is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need
it. - Hebrews 4:16
In the post “Purpose of the Law”, brought out is the fact
that it is impossible to be justified before God by our own efforts because no
one is perfect. I remember from a sermon at the church I worship at the
following point:
The Journey with Jesus begins with a decision (MK 1:16-17), with
leaving the familiar (MK 1:12-20), with Jesus saying lets go, with a change in
view (MK 1:17) and in following the real Jesus (Ac 9:10-11).*
The things that hinder us many
times are self-inflicted. There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called “Dive”
that inspires us to take some risk when it comes to finding what’s important in
life. The Journey with Jesus requires that we dive right in and start the
continual change process by following His Way.
