What sort of man is this Jesus?

Morning: Psalms 97, 99, 100; I Sam 16:1-13a; Ephesians 3:14-21
Evening: Psalms 94, 95; Matthew 8:18-27

Jesus is clear that following him is not for the faint of heart. You may have to sacrifice your comforts, make hard choices and give first priority to his Way over your own. This is also not something to be postponed; now is the moment to live in this Way. Due to the impact of such demands, following Jesus may prove stormy and feel risky. But you can be confident, says the Gospel, because all nature is at his command. What sort of man is this Jesus? Unlike anyone you have ever known. Implication: He is worth getting to know.
