“Being
contently settled can never be the long-term goal for a person who follows
Christ. Just when we decide that we’ve seen and heard enough, God invites us to
yet another experience that could potentially change our lives. The One who
says, "Follow me," leads us to people who need our friendship, places
that need our presence, and issues that call for our attention. We worship a
Christ who claimed no place to lay his head. In order to follow this One, we
must embark upon a lifelong journey.
...Perhaps
the scripture
passages in this unit need a warning label attached. After all, the study and
application of these verses involves risking who we are as followers for who we
could become. When we risk ourselves for God, we find assurance and gifts that
we would not discover otherwise. Is this a risk you are willing to take?”
