The way of Jesus is the way of love. But loving in theory and loving as a way of life are very different, with very different outcomes. The great thing for us is that Jesus offers us his own life as an example of how to love as a way of life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The way of Jesus—the life he modeled—is a life of daily surrender and sacrificial living. Every day, we have countless opportunities to deny ourselves and take up our cross, even in the small, seemingly insignificant moments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being an apprentice of Jesus leads to a life full of love, joy, hope, peace, purpose, contentment, wisdom, perspective, better decisions, and fewer regrets. Not just eternal life, but a fulfilling life on this side of heaven can be ours when we go beyond believing and start following his way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
