We have been called into an epic quest with sacred companions - a quest that started with Jesus, and was passed to us in the final moments of Jesus’s life on earth. Vaughan Blackwood digs into the beginning of the upper room discourse in John 13 - the final meal Jesus had with the twelve before going to the cross. Do we realise the seriousness of what has been passed to us from Jesus - this quest upon which the redemption of the entire world hangs? It’s not a Sadducean mix of capitalistic lifestyle pursuit mixed with some spirituality, nor is it a Pharisaic adherence to strict rules. When we resolve this epic quest in our hearts, we know we need a living relationship with the scriptures to guide us.
