Resurrection Power and Believing
For John, the Gospel writer, believing is always an action, a verb – never a noun. John encouraged a faithfulness to Christ that was always in motion. You and I are to “go after” Christ because He came to us, and we have been found. Our “going after” is the action of discipleship. It is the adventure of our walk with the Lord.
I am not suggesting that we “chase” or “race” after Jesus in an endlessly exhausting exercise that feels like a celestial treadmill. To the contrary, we move to keep up with Jesus discovering purpose and rest along the way that He has ordained for us. We “enter into His rest.”
Wake up and get on the move, Church! Jesus is on the go. He teaches as we go with Him. Will we follow?
