The devil may seek you out and condemn you. You might hear whispers in your head that say things like “you can’t do that”. As you are about to invite someone to youth group you might hear the voice say “you’r rubbish, they will laugh at you”. That’s all the enemy can do, is to tell you how bad you are and how what Jesus did wasn’t for you. Jesus says that’s rubbish, and he thinks you are brilliant, so brilliant he was willing to give up his life for you. That is the grace that is talked about in this passage. Jesus’ answer is come follow him and live life to the full. He doesn’t say come and follow this great big list of rules I have created, no that’s not the Jesus way. The grace that Jesus brought says, you want to be on the winning team, you want excitement, you want life to the full then lets do it together. So I don’t know about you but we at Aftershock are about living this life that Jesus gave us to the full, are you coming.
