no need to escape

“Whoever believes will not act hastily.” Isaiah 28:16
He who believes is victorious.
He doesn’t need to escape.
He stands in the victory that was won on Calvary.

Easy solutions, superficial attitudes and fast pace in life
are often just ways to escape the bigger questions.
Small talk is a way to escape the real issues.
It’s always easier to talk about something else.

Sometimes we escape by being passive and
dull in hearing.
Somehow we talk ourselves into thinking that
if we choose to hear less, we will be less responsible.

Many disciples left Jesus, being offended with
His straight forward teaching. Jesus said to his best men,
”Do you also want to go away?” John 6:67
Peter knew that he didn’t have a choice.
He had followed Jesus too long.
He said, “Where could we go?”
He knew that avoiding problems, pain and truth
would always lead him further away from Jesus.
He didn’t want to go away..
