Day 29

John 13-15

Congratulations now we are beginning week five of Chasing99. I trust that God has worked in amazing ways to change you to be more like him. It is impossible to get close to God through His word and not be changed. I know I'm different. I would love to hear from you on how God has worked in you through Chasing99. We are reading through a period of Jesus' life where He enters Jerusalem for the purpose of dying on the cross and then to rise from the dead. John's account of this period is much longer than the other three gospels.

I started something new this week. I'm trying to get back into shape. Never in my life would have I considered a 35 minute brisk walk as a workout. It is a struggle to get into shape. However, the pain of the process will be worth it in the end. Jesus' prepared His disciple for the future. He had to get them into shape for the work He had them to do. In chapter 14, Jesus is very straight forward about His immediate plans. Make sure  you have read this chapter really well and see how it applies to your life.

John 14:30-31 shows how important it was to Jesus to be obedient to His Father. He relates it to the world. The world needed to see that Jesus was going to do what His Father told Him to do. And that is what Jesus did. He did everything exactly the way God wanted it done. Are you content doing what God wants you to do? I hope and pray that as we read through the New Testament God will soften our hearts to live life God's way. The world is waiting to see people living life God's way.
