Disciples

“There is a sharp distinction between the followers of Jesus and “the world.” Only when that is realized can the next word be heard, which is another spectacular promise. Those who hold fast to Jesus and refuse to settle for a second-best, compromised discipleship, will find that his peace comes to them as a gift, a peace of the kind that “the world” can never give.”

-NT Wright on John 14

Let us never settle for second class discipleship — both for our own sakes and for the sakes of those around us. When we do not seek out and then speak/live out the truth in love, we aren’t serving others and won’t be able to find the overwhelmingly sufficient peace that is our inheritance from God.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

-John 14:6
