This Isn't Complicated

This week in my devotions I read the words of my Savior in John 14:15:

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

How can I express my love to Jesus today? How can I show my love to one who loved me and gave himself for me? I can obey him.

It really is that simple, isn't it. Obey His commandments - love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself. Beautiful.

I like Jesus.

The Commands are what keep us in His ways. We are set-apart because He is set-apart; we are set-apart because of the Commands.

His beautiful glory and mercy shines through the precious commands. Showing us how to love, how to live, and how to be Holy.

What a blessing it is to have a simple Abba.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
