 The Jesus Way
Jesus said, "Come and follow me."
The Grace of Christian Community
The Presbyterian pastor, theologian and writer Eugene Peterson reminds us of the words spoken by Jesus, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
"My concern is with the responsibility of Christians, every Christian, to develop awareness and facility in the ways of Jesus as we go about our daily lives following Jesus in home and workplace, neighborhood and congregatin, so that our following is consonant with his leading." (Eugene Peterson)
