Nicodemus came to Jesus wanting to sample His take on God’s Law. Jesus calls both Nicodemus and us to something more.
We aren’t called to hold the goodness of God in, but to spread holiness by loving those around us. Even our enemies.
We think “rights” will make things right, but how does that fit being a follower of the One who gave up His rights?
Why does Jesus go into oaths? Does it have any point in our average, everyday life?
Are we battling the sins that happen in our minds? Or do we try to set them on a shelf to revisit at a future time?
We are called to be agents of restoration, but often we instead degrade the lives around us with anger.
Righteousness matters, but ours always falls short. What are we to do?
Are we offering cleansing and hope to those in the world? Or are we racing to match the world to the point that we have nothing to offer?
Where are we looking for our hope and security? Are we helping others to look to Jesus?
Jim helps us to consider what we think we have to do versus what God actually calls us to do.
