Being Dangerous

John 1: 35-42
"The following day, John was again standing with two of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at Him and then declared, 'Look! there is the lamb of God!" Then John's two disciples turned and followed Jesus. Jesus looked around and saw them following. 'What do you want?' he asked them. They replied, 'Rabbi' (which means teacher), 'where are you staying?' 'Come and see,' he said. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when they went with him to the place, and they stayed there the rest of the day. Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of these men who had heard what John had said and then followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon, and tell him, 'We have found the Messiah' (which means the Christ). Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus."

I did not die on the cross for you to be tame.
I died on the cross for you to be dangerous.
Find what's worth dying for and then you will finally live.
What do you want?
Do you want to follow Me?
Or
Do you think I should follow you?
You make your plans, but remember, I direct your steps.
It's when you learn to follow hard after Me that the adventure begins.
Do you want to live as if you are already dead?
Then stay tame.
Die of Boredom.
No?
Then come and see.
Follow Me.
Live for something worth dying for.
Search your heart- your soul.
What makes you weep?
What makes you angry?
What makes you leap for joy?
You see I've already planted the passion in your heart.
The passion only you can live out.
Let me reveal it to you.
Your adventure awaits.
It's going to sound impossible and irresponsible and people, especially your family, will think you're crazy.
But you're not- you're just dangerous!
Others aren't used to people picking danger over tameness.
I call it lameness.
Hold on!
Get ready when you choose to follow Me!
Teach others what you have learned and are learning about a real relationship with Me, about seeking Me with your whole heart.
Find everyone you can who will listen and even those who don't listen and tell them who I AM- the Messiah - the One who loved them before they were even born - the One who loves them despite who they are and because of who they are and who they can be in Me!
Shout it from the mountaintops and from the valleys of your life.
Invite them to come and see for themselves and then leave the rest to Me.
Are you ready for the Adventure?
I AM!
