Episode Synopsis
The Need for Followership: Love can cause harm. Consider the wife whose husband wants little to do with church. When he wants her and the children to stay home Sunday morning, she complies without protest to the spiritual detriment of the whole family. Or consider the father who loves his child so much that he gives the child everything that child asks for. That father’s love is shaping that child to be a selfish, entitled adult.
In our families, we need to love rightly, in a way that leads to blessings for those we claim to love. In Jesus we see perfect, self-sacrificial love: he loves us as we are, yet he also loved us too much to leave us as we are. In love he gave his life up so that we might be holy and blameless. He also shapes the way we love. Today we see that followers of Christ know how to love their families. Our sermon today is from Mark 10.
