A Note on Living Out the Things We’ve Learned:
‘Don’t be amazed at this…’Jesus says this right after a rather lengthy talk about his relationship to his Father, the kind of talk that people who love theology drool over. There’s all kind of things to ponder about what he says and it’s not a bad thing to think about those things (and honestly, it’s kind of hard to not be amazed by the grand scope of what he says). But he follows it up by saying ‘Don’t be amazed at this, because the hour is coming…’ In other words, don’t just think about theology unless you’re willing to put it into action. The day when we are all being judged, God will be wanting to see what our thoughts about Him lead us to do, not how well developed our thoughts were about Him.
What does it look like to live life knowing that God has promised to protect and care us?
What situation in your life right now would benefit from letting your knowledge of who God is direct your feelings, rather than your own outlook?
