In John 14 when Jesus makes a big announcement the disciples aren’t sure what to do with the information. The plan’s changing and the disciples start freaking out. Jesus twice tells them, “fear not.” It’s the passage where Jesus assures them in the midst of change, “I am the way, the truth, and the light.” Jesus wasn’t stating some concept or new idea. He was telling his disciples, “I am the way.” Jesus leads the way. We follow Him. The closer you are to him the more clear the way becomes. We have to stop thinking that Christianity is some moral code to follow and start seeing it as a daily side by side, best friends relationship with the person of Jesus. Do you have that kind of deal going on with Jesus? Or is it still in the ought to, gotta, should, better or else kind? The, well, if I do this then that happens. Such a better deal being offered than that. I want to know the guy or gal who came up with this otta Christianity and tell them how many people they mislead. Jesus is offering something so much better. Man o man. Let’s turn the corner for good. Out goes fear, judgment, comparison, shame, guilt and the rest. What a lousy version of pseudo Christianity. And when Jesus changes the plan, he says, just keep following me.
