Yesterday I looked at spiritual practice as a process. Let us consider today and take the thought just a bit further.
Does following Jesus consist of an hour or two on Sunday morning (or, for my Seventh-Day Baptist ancestors, Saturday morning)?
Perhaps it is good enough to just proclaim that one is a Jesus follower? Many people seem to go with that thought. “I said it; that settles it.”
Perhaps we can look at following Jesus in terms of a job. Not something you have to do. Many people take on jobs for the pure enjoyment of the effort and the good product at the end.
Perhaps we should consider following Jesus as a full-time job. We should be kind to everyone we meet. Helpful when we can. Teaching where needed. Praying constantly for joys and concerns.
