Before and After

I believe that you can tell people that are in a intimate relationship with Jesus. They talk different. They act different. They have a swag that makes them stick out.

Take for example the Apostle John. In the early years of his life he wanted to burn down a city simply because they would not let him pass through. Jesus even gave him the nickname "Thunder." But toward the end of his life I believe you see a change in him. Eleven times in his writings he has the phrase "love one another." And church tradition tells us that in his old age as he was being carried to Christian meetings he would say, "little children love one another."

So my question is simple. "Have you changed since you first meet Jesus?"

My the Lord bless you and keep you.

  2. No matter how long it seems I walk with Jesus, change keeps coming. I do not recognize the man I used to be, and I have no clue where Jesus will take me next.

    John's change is inspiring.
