Today, Pastor Julie will continue the Easter sermon series with the sermon, “Being Led Where We Don’t Want to Go,” based on John 21:15-19. Accompanying scripture texts are Isaiah 48:12-13, 16-17 and Philippians 4:10-14.
Love empowers us to open ourselves to situations we dread. In following Jesus, there is the active way and the passive way. Both ways are necessary; both require courage. Sooner or later, each of us will be called to the passive way of discipleship, of being led into situations we’d just as soon avoid. Jesus modeled both ways for us.
