Led by Jesus... like Jesus... to Jesus: 2

John 1:9-18
When Jesus came to earth, he wasn’t recognized as creator-God, and even his own people rejected him. But still, he came to be light and to lead people to sonship with the Father. To be born into God’s family, one must believe in who he is and receive him – welcome him into their life in all his fullness. He is the source of grace and truth, and when you welcome Jesus into your life, you receive grace upon grace.

Jesus mission was extraordinary! He enshrouded himself in human flesh – the temporal, weak, and earthly – so that he might reveal the glory of God to humankind. He didn’t choose the safe and comfortable route, and to lead like Jesus, neither can we!
