Hey Grace'rs,
4 Take Aways from Jesus and the Call to Follow
Take Away #1: Jesus roots following him in the provocative metaphor of the Cross—the worst form of execution ever devised by humankind.
Take Away #2: The cross shows us what God is like. God is a God who enters into solidarity with vulnerable, broken people through the death of Jesus, in order to put things to right.
Take Away #3: As followers of Jesus we are marked by the Cross of Christ. Our identity is shaped by the Cross.
Take Away #4: To take up the Cross and follow Jesus is to follow Jesus back into the world where he goes, as he goes. To take up the
Cross is to enter into solidarity with broken people in order to bring them the life-giving grace of Jesus.
