When Jesus saw the crowds,
he went up the mountain;
and after he sat down,
his disciples came to him.
Then he began to speak,
and taught them, saying ...
Matthew 5:1-2
Mahatma Ghandi, a Hindu, loved Jesus.
At least ... he loved Jesus' teaching.
This Indian leader based the whole peace-focused freeing of India on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. (He even said that he might've become a Christian if he'd seen any Christian living fully and wonderfully according to the Sermon on the Mount.)
That's our goal for these next few weeks ... to shape our lives more fully around Jesus' seminal teaching.
And to do that starts with prayer ...
Jesus, I want to be a disciple, sitting at your feet. Humble my spirit. Break through the noise. If we want to impact this broken world, let me model my service after You and any Saint who's modeled himself on you.
In Christ's Love,
a guy who yearns for
a powerful way to change
a broken world
(and Jesus modeled
a different kind of power)
