I have two questions for you today. The first is, “Do you follow Jesus?” However the second question is more important, and goes something like this, “Ok, you say you follow Jesus, but do you steadfastly follow the Jesus way?” The Jesus way can be found in His own words, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matthew 5:44) Or, “Do good to those who hate you.” (Luke 6:27) The Jesus way goes against everything within our corrupt human nature. It means to respond to curses with prayer…to face assault, both verbal attack & physical aggression, with non-violence…and finally, to persevere through exploitation and oppression with generosity & kindness. It’s easy to say I follow Jesus, and so much harder to follow the Jesus way.
