Christ’s call to be uncomfortable

Jesus doesn’t call people to be comfortable and entertained. He calls His followers to go beyond the conventional religious wisdom and church structures of our age and to become a living demonstration of His presence and power.

I woke up this morning with these thoughts about Christ’s calling stirring in my heart before I got out of bed:

* The best pastor (shepherd) is Christ in you. He will lead, guide, and disciple you from the inside if you will let Him.

* The risen Jesus is the most effective Bible teacher. He makes the words burn in your heart.

* When people are aware of Christ’s presence, they don’t need a program about Him.

* Jesus is the best worship leader. Awareness of His presence releases spontaneous adoration!

Calling all Christ-followers: Let’s begin to continually notice, appreciate, surrender to, and obey the presence of the risen Jesus. Sermons make people an audience. Christians are called to make disciples.
