Rise, let us go away from here. John 14:31
In this chapter, Jesus tells me all about Himself and the Holy Spirit, as He speaks to the 12 apostles reclining around the table at the Last Supper.
I am in the lower level of our townhome sitting in front of the fireplace, soon to rise and go upstairs to face another day. When the apostles got up that evening, they followed Jesus to the Mount of Olives where he continued to talk to them.
Is that not the way it is to be with me – that I rise up with Jesus as He goes about his business in my life, not that I rise up and go about my business and somehow think He will follow me, on the fringes of my life, so to speak? No, today will be different.
