5th Sunday of Easter (May 10, 2020)


The Way

Jesus is the way.

There is a tension or a balance in following Jesus.

On the one hand, following Jesus does not mean simply tagging along.  Jesus’ way is not a physical road, and if we just keep dragging along, without efforts or intentionality, eventually we’ll get there.

We follow Jesus’ way by living, acting, and loving in the manner that He did.

On the other hand, it is a journey that Jesus himself walks with us and leads us.  In fact, by ourselves, we can’t do it.   We have his words of assurance, “I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.”
