Day 12 – Holy Land Tour

Posted on May 14, 2020November 8, 2023 by Norm

Today is DAY 12 (May 14), the last day of the tour!
Ray seemed very passionate today, passionate about the text.
This may be controversial, but I don’t want to be a disciple of the text.
I want to be a disciple of Jesus, and learn to read the text with Him.
It is a matter of emphasis, and I prefer to emphasize my relationship with Jesus.
Don’t get me wrong, I read the bible everyday… but so did the Pharisees.
They were people of the text, but they did not know and accept Jesus.
I have known people who knew their text well, but did not know or reflect Jesus.
I was one of them myself; I graduated seminary knowing the text, but not Jesus.
The more we spend time with Jesus, through the stories of the Gospels, the stronger we will be.
I want to be passionate about knowing and showing Jesus, a disciple of Jesus (not the text).
And I will use the text, as well as other believers, and prayer, and spiritual disciplines, to do it.
May I be as passionate about Jesus, as Ray was about the text.
Thanks for joining us!
