This week’s Gospel Luke 9:51-62 reminds us that there can be no half-heartedness in following Christ. We know as Christians that God is the ultimate King of the World (apologies to Leonardo De Caprio!) and that God has already triumphed over evil and sin. We are already on the winning team if we are followers of Jesus. However, it doesn’t always FEEL like that, does it? There are times in our lives when the road ahead looks bumpy, when our plans are destabilised- even where God seems to have let us down and we are in big trouble! Today’s Gospel uses the word ‘resolutely’ to describe Jesus setting out for Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 NIV). Jesus calls us to ‘resolutely’ follow him. Regardless of the bumps, muddy puddles and stony ground in our path, our call is to walk towards the King. May your walk this week be faithful and constant. God doesn’t need us to have all the directions- just to take one step forward at a time. God bless you. Amen.
