How is Jesus leading me?

For Christians, we are in a period called Lent.  This is a 40-day period prior to Easter when believers prepare their hearts and souls for Easter.

This year, I’m challenging my church to ask a single question, “How is Jesus leading me?”  This is one of the most important questions for Christians because the essence of the Christian life is following and obeying Jesus.  He boldly tells us that he is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)

This question is often a difficult one to get our arms around.  So there are several other avenues to explore in an attempt to gain clarity on the relational question, “How is Jesus leading me?  The questions and Scriptures to explore how Jesus is leading me are:

• Trust Him with my problems and hurts? (Matt. 11:28-29, 2 Cor. 1:3-4)
• Hear and apply His words? (John 14:23-25,  James 1:22)
• Love others beyond expectation? (John 15:13, Luke 10:27)
• Use all that I am and all that I have for Him? (1 Tim 6:17-19, Rev. 3:17-19)
• Gain His life by surrendering mine? (Matt 16:24-25, John 15:1-8)

Would you take some time in the next month to get alone and ask God to help you answer this important question?  I think it has the potential to radically change Easter this year for all of us!
