Jesus teaches us to seek and do Father's will
Matthew 6:10 Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to seek and do Father's will?
Note: We really can't understand Father's will by asking, "what would Jesus do?" unless we first ask, "what did Jesus do?" His will is radically different (its from heaven!) than what we can reason out - so much so that Paul celebrated its "foolishness". Equally important is that this prayer teaches us to seek God's will together as a community of Jesus' followers.
“Jesus is Lord” is a radical claim. One in which we pledge our lives to follow him. And yet, most of us ignore the teachings of Jesus. We reimagine him so that he fits neatly into our world instead of letting him change our entire way of being. This blog was a devotional that walked through the gospel of Matthew (and a little into Mark)identifying where we are ignoring Jesus. And inviting him to change us.
