I just weeks ago returned from a great summer of work in Mexico at Reynosa with visits to the Dominican Republic, The Bahamas and right here in Tennessee and of course the Gulf coast of Mississippi. Mission Discovery teams accomplished large tasks at all of these project locations. God brought us over 3400 participants this year and they are still coming.
Ann was off to a Beth Moore conference tonight in downtown Nashville, I spent the evening preparing for a Sunday school class I am helping teach with my frined Floyd Dawson. We are looking into the book of John. I spent 3 hours tonight studying, listening to comentaries and just loved it. Can't wait to see what our class has to offer this Sunday.
The whole book of John was written with the intention of helping us understand who Jesus was/is. Have you read the classic, In His Steps? The question is posed in the book right away, "What would Jesus do?" The questions shapes an entire community, including the church where the pastor asked the question. I think about that question often, and often repeat to myself, "Who knows what Jesus would do, He is so unpredictable?" I look forward to studying John and learning about the person of Jesus.
Right away John brings together thoughts and words that provoke questions for me. He personalizes Himself, He personalizes "light", he personalizes "darkness", and thought not right here, He does personalize "life". In other words He is light, someone is darkness, He is "life". So if following His is life, what is the opposit of following Him? What would following life be like? How would one talk to "life"? These are the kinds of wacky questions that rolled around in my mind tonight.
If you are reading this and are in the class at Community Church be sure to post your visit, leave a comment or insights on our study. Until next time. Blessings.
