Easter 2011 - Following Jesus

We've all tried hard to make a go of the Crhistian faith - often fonding ourselves running around the same track over adn over again, hoping that at one magical moment it will all fall together. When it doesn't we either give up and walk away, or hide what is really true about us. But there is another way - the only way, the way of Christ. As we celebrate Easter 2011, we have landed in the center of the 1st Letter of Peter, looking at the example of humility and servant hood found in Jesus. It is not just suffering that He calls us to follow Him - rather it is in trusting God in the midst of every circumstance - including this life we have been born anew to in Him. The question remains - as it has fr many of the weeks we have been in 1st Peter - how will we respond in light of the work He has finished on our behalf?
