Here we are, fools for the sake of Christ.
1Cor.4:10
Following Jesus means rejecting the wisdom of the world, being regarded a fool.
There's no middle ground with Jesus. I'm either for him or against him. The world estemes the rich, the powerful, the brainy, the beautiful. Jesus calls me to esteem the poor, the rejects, the lowly, the unattractive, the sinners. Foolishness to the world.
But, there's something liberating in being a fool for Christ, something joyful. Truly, having less is more.
Jesus, you know my attachments to the lures of the world. Help me detach so, unimpeded, I can better follow you.
