Real True Life


   What kind of life does Jesus have in mind for you?

   It is a good one, but I wonder how many people prefer to hang onto parts of their old lives than to living the wonderful life Jesus is calling us to live.

   I heard a woman on the news the other day saying that she had a right to drink alcohol while watching her children free of judgment.

   It made me wonder if that is really the life Jesus has in mind for us?

   Is it possible that, even we who have walked with Jesus for awhile, can still find areas of our lives that we do not want to give up, but instead try to justify?

   Do we ever confuse freedom with indulgence?

   Do we ever confuse accountability with judgment?

   We most certainly do.  But, Jesus died and rose for us, and calls us to follow him in the way that leads to a real, true life.
