Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Luke 9:51-62
In 1729, William Law, a Church of England priest, published: A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life. Reading Luke’s Gospel reminds me how serious and uncompromising are the demands Jesus makes of his disciples. His call is to a difficult, even arduous, way of life. The urgency and significance of the Christian Way is sometimes so watered down that it gets all but lost in ‘niceness’. Jesus is rigorous. His Way demands courage and lifelong dedication in those who say ‘Yes’ to him. But the reward is big, too - a full and rich life.
