What happens when people empowered by The Holy Spirit are following Jesus’ steps?
I thought about that as I read this week’s passage. It reminded me of a book, In His Steps by Charles M. Sheldon, which has been challenging readers to a spiritual adventure now for over 85 years. Behind the writing of this book is a fascinating story.
Sheldon was the pastor of the Central Congregational Church in Topeka, Kansas. One hot June afternoon in 1896, the minister decided to try an unusual kind of sermon for his Sunday night services. He would write a continued story, one chapter to be given each week about what happened in the lives of various persons, with different backgrounds and vocations, who applied to every decision the question: “What would Jesus do?”
This Sunday, our story follows Peter and John as they are on their way to the temple to pray. Peter and John, just a couple of guys following Jesus. What could possibly happen? I wonder what would happen if you ask that question in your daily life? “What would Jesus do?” — Blessings, Ed
