Come Follow Me And... - Brett Scott

Sermons from the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

He comes in and sits down across the desk from me and he says, hey, I have got this great plan for your life. I know exactly what you should be doing from now on. I've got it all worked out. And guess what? You don't have to worry about the direction of your life anymore. So come on, let's go. So of course, I get up and I grab my coat and off we go. It, it's a great, it's a great mental picture and something we would all want to have happen, to have Jesus actually show up and clearly tell us what we should be doing, what our purpose in calling is, right? It's what we would want, right? Isn't it? Is it though? Because of course, when I really stop to think about it, maybe it's not what I want. I suspect we all want some level of plausible deniability in our relationship with Jesus. If we can claim that we can't really know what Jesus personally wants from us, then it is left up to us to determine all of that. That feels safer somehow.
