BOB Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central, A United Methodist Community in the heart of Meridian. How much courage would it take for you to leave everything you know and have and then follow Jesus without knowing the destination? Do you have that courage? A good young man with power and wealth faced this challenge. Jesus watched sadly as the young man walked away rather than answering the call to follow. He chose not to wriggle free of the bondage he thought gave him life and chose to remain religious rather than becoming a disciple. Do you have the courage to leave all that you have gained in order to follow Jesus? I pray that you and I would respond to Jesus’ invitation with, “here I am, let’s go.” Can we do that? Yes! Will we do that? Each one of us must each answer that question. But know that having the courage to leave everything and follow Jesus is possible for each of us. Will you have the courage to trust Jesus?
