There use to be this old song we sang in the youth group …
walking with Jesus, walking every day, walking all the way
walking with Jesus walking with Jesus alone
walking in the sunlight, walking in the shadow
walking everyday, walking all the way
walking in the sunlight, walking in the shadow
walking with Jesus alone.
well, nowadays, i don’t think we’re walking with Jesus alone in the sense it’s just me and Jesus. i’m part of the body of Christ, and I’m walking with Jesus and with his friends and family. But, the walking everyday part and sunlight-shadow part still rings true today. As I’m walking through some passages from Luke this LENT season with BLC (last week was the tempation in Luke 4, this week is Luke 13.31-35 – strange passage on Herod, the Pharisees and Jerusalem), I’m looking at Jesus again … and he’s just awesome!
I would agree with you there. Walking with Jesus…aren’t we all everyday? The only sad part of it is that we ignore him. Imagine walking with your loved one and ignoring them. I have done that many a times in the past and still do sometimes. But you know what? He still loves us anyways….
Maybe the “alone” in the song means that we don’t have any other “gods” that we walk with. That is Jesus is our only guide.
