The Cost of Discipleship

For 25 May 2019, Saturday of the fifth week of the Easter Season, based on John 15:18-21
Jesus said to his disciples: “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world—therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘Servants are not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.”

Dear Mary Ellen,
I felt the sadness in your voice in your beautiful preaching this morning. What a challenge to truly see and believe Jesus standing, looking deeply at me and saying, You are loved – you are loved.
Sacred words to ponder and truly believe when times are not so easy. Thank you, thank you.
