A slave to Jesus and an apostle authorised to proclaim Gods word. Can we rightly say these same words as Paul? Can we say I Julie am a devoted slave to Jesus, I Dave am a devoted slave to Jesus. Can you put your name in that place and say; I … am a devoted slave to Jesus? What does it take to be a devoted slave to Jesus? Does it take an hour a week at the school Christian union? Does it take a morning at church once a week on a Sunday? Or is there more to being a devoted slave to Jesus? Paul explains how pleased he is with the people he is writing to, and he tells everyone he meets about their lives of faith. Wouldn’t it be incredible to have Paul the apostle write to you? Would he say, I can’t stop telling people about your faith filled life that you lead at school? Would Paul say I tell all my friends about how you to spread the fantastic news of Jesus at college? To be a slave to Jesus, to live a life that has Jesus at the centre means looking at how Jesus effects our every day actions. If aftershock is about anything, it is about learning how we become a slave to Jesus. Are you up for the journey?
