As I write this final blog, I want to thank the over 200 people who have actually read the blog and the far more who have done the devotionals. This has been a journey we have traveled together--carefully, intentionally, decisively. There is nothing hasty or simple about this entire process.
And yet when I read the Bible passage for today, the word that leaps off the page for me is "immediately." After meeting Jesus for the first time, upon hearing Jesus' invitation, Peter immediately leaves behind the family business and his previous life to follow Jesus.
What about a campaign, prayer vigil, daily devotions, EPIC events, mailings, private meetings???
Actually, the "immediately" is not for us. It's for those who are not yet here. I believe that we as a church are already sold on following Jesus. Through the Master's Plan, we are laying the foundation so that when others come here and encounter the Living Lord face to face through music, youth, fellowship, worship, prayer or study they, like Peter, will be overwhelmed by his presence and "immediately" follow Jesus.
And we will be doing what we are called to do. . .become fishers of men! After all, that IS The Master's Plan.
See you at Ovens!
