What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do - Week 2
As we enter into month 2 of the COVID-19 crisis of 2020, one thing is sure: everything is upside down. So. As followers of Jesus, what should we do when we don’t know what to do? In this series, we’ll examine the final days of Jesus’ life where He gives His followers some important advice for how to live - because their lives were about to get turned upside down. And in week 1, we see an astonishing act of humility. Jesus, the Messiah, the King of Kings, takes a towel and a basin and washes His disciples feet, reminding us that when we don’t know what to do, we can remember that life is about serving other people in humility and love.
In the week before Jesus was to be crucified, He knew that life was going to come unravelled for His followers. So Jesus offers them words of hope. But they are unique words of hope. Jesus does not say, “I will make everything bad stop” and He does not say, “I will make everything go perfectly.” He says, “I will go ahead of you.” Jesus is promising His disciples that no matter how difficult life gets, that He is a few steps ahead. And that Ultimately, things will work out, even if it sometimes doesn’t look like it. And this promise is not just wishful thinking: it’s based on Jesus’ work, life and character.
