The call
God called Abraham to leave his past life at the age of seventy-five and to embark on a journey. God called to Moses from the burning bush to begin a new phase of his journey at the age of eighty. God called the Israelites to leave Egypt and embark on a forty-year journey of personal transformation in the desert. God called David to leave the comforts of his job as a shepherd to conquer Goliath and to serve as king of israel. God called Jeremiah to forty to fifty years of difficult work, standing firm for God’s values in the middle of a rebellious people. Jesus called the twelve disciples to a journey that would change their lives forever. Jesus now calls us daily to “go and make disciples”. Invite someone today to take a closer look at Christ’s call and his church.
