To find and follow Christ and to serve Him -- that is fruitful living…
When Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), He was not speaking arrogantly, egotistically, or narrow-mindedly. He was expressing a genuine desire to turn us, to redirect us away from things that do not satisfy and toward the things that cause us to come alive. The time given to us on this earth is infinitesimally small compared to time itself, and so He desires for us to live it richly… He invites us. He wants us to flourish.
To be a follower of Jesus is to take
this path, to step by step grow into the life that really is life. God through
Christ reveals the way, invites us along, and walks with us. Following Christ
will change you; and through you, God will change the world.
-- Robert Schnase in “Five Practices of Fruitful Living”
