The Followers of Jesus as having eyes wide open. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Followers of Jesus as having eyes wide open makes us susceptible to seeing through all the clutter of the world around us and finding the way of Jesus always at hand. With that way comes the life we are invited to follow. We will see quite soon how the clutter of the world so easily leads us into the way of violence and war. We are able to see that we fight with each other over that which is just debris - stuff - biases - empty promise - that really only clutters our thinking and our acting. The Followers of Jesus as having eyes wide open soon see that the clutter of the world will never bring peace in our lives or in our hearts. As we become consumed with lives cluttered by the debris of the world, that clutter actually begins to consume our lives. We lose our ability to see the way of truth and peace and justice because we are so business needlessly wasting our time and lives dealing with all the clutter. People have a history of fighting over clutter. Yet, when we can see that it is just clutter and not really the life-giving food of new life, it will be easier to let it go and walk once again in the life Jesus invites us to follow. O God of love and new life, clear the path before us that we may see your way more clearly. Amen. |
