I went to seminary in my mid-forties. It had been a long time since I had been in college and as you might guess, I didn't know if I could handle all that would be required of me. But one thing I knew: I wanted to learn. I wanted to learn about what I didn't know. So even in the midst of my concerns I signed up and started classes. It wasn't long before I heard about one particular teacher. Everyone had two things to say about this teacher: 1) He will be the hardest teacher you ever have and 2) You will learn more from him than you thought possible.
I still remember the first day of class with this dreaded teacher. He was everything I had been told and my experience was just like what everyone had told me. It was the hardest twelve weeks of my grad-school experience, but it was also the most memorable. I learned so much! This week we are going to learn what it means to allow Jesus to be our teacher. We may not often think of Jesus in this way, but if we are going to be His disciple, we must learn from Him so that we can be like Him.
This week we will look at the last words Jesus had to say after His resurrection and before He ascended to the Father. These words will activate us into a way of living that will guide us in our passionate pursuit of LIFE in Jesus and leading our neighbors to do the same.
See you Sunday...
