Hymn "Father, I believe in you" © Mike Anderson 2006
Imagine being a Jewish citizen 2000 years ago, in the presence of Jesus every day. Imagine eating with him, walking with him, watching him, talking with him, listening to him. Yes, it would be incredible and surely we would know exactly what he was about and come to realise, with certainty who he was? If he looked you the eye and said ‘Follow me”, surely we would give up everything in order to follow him. Or are we deluding ourselves? Wouldn’t we be just like the crowds and disciples who were quite unsure about his identity. We might want a little more assurance before making the full life commitment and be happy to go along with the theories being portrayed as to his nature for now? In any case wouldn’t we want to put our houses in order before leaving everything behind?
