The Followers of Jesus as upright.. If you have any comments adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Followers of Jesus as upright is how we appear through time. The story line of our character will not change simply to fit into the prevailing images of the day that claim to be able to bring life. Rather, we will hold onto the blessed image of the Christ in which honesty and truthfulness match the eternal image of God's Reign that we can see in the Jesus story. This will be our story even as the world attempts to persuade us to follow lies being sold as truthfulness in a world that seems to run on lies and is afraid of the truth - a world that thrives and prospers on dishonesty. The Followers of Jesus as upright may appear to the world as people with their heads in the clouds or people out of step with the rest of the world. That is because we are. In fact, as people walking upright in the life of the Reign of God it will appear to others that we are turning the world upside down. No - we are simply walking upright into the image of our God. O God of love and new life, keep us walking within the character of your Reign - te way of Jesus. Amen. |
