Moving

When Jesus called his disciples, his command was to "follow me". In reading the gospels, it is evident that Jesus was always moving around. He didn't stay in one place very long. So his command wasn't "sit down here" or "stay here", it was "follow me". As Christ followers we must constantly be on the move. We talk about witnessing a "move of God", but we want it to happen where we are. Jesus wants us to go where he is. He moved through the bad parts of town, talking to people the "church people" didn't approve of. He spoke in the synagogue, but his most effective ministry took place in the marketplace. He didn't have a headquarters. He was constantly on the move and he is still moving today. Let's stay on the move with him.
