As I read of Jesus saying 'follow me', I wonder what compelled the first disciples such as Peter to drop all they were doing and do just that? Levi, Mathew, the tax collector, only needed a quick prompt and away he went, leaving a very lucrative though unpopular business. At this stage, I wonder if they knew much about Jesus? Yet they jumped into the deep end and never regretted it, except Judas.

God be with all the peoples in the North Central States as terrible storms race across our Country. Those who were effected last night, and those who are facing danger this morning.
Here yesterday afternoon it was 84. This morning it is 27 with a lower "feels like." We are blessed because we have not had the tornado threat and severe thunder storm threats.
Prayers to all under the gun....

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latterday upon the earth:”
Job 19:25 (KJV)
I like how (in the Old Testament) the need to be redeemed was so prevalent long before the "Redeemer" came to earth....
Redemption then delt with being freed from bondage (slavery).

Redeem, Redemption
Finding its context in the social, legal, and religious customs of the ancient world, the metaphor of redemption includes the ideas of loosing from a bond, setting free from captivity or slavery, buying back something lost or sold, exchanging something in one's possession for something possessed by another, and ransoming.
The Old Testament. In the Old Testament, redemption involves deliverance from bondage based on the payment of a price by a redeemer. The Hebrew root words used most often for the concept of redemption are pada [h'd'P], gaal [l;a"G] and kapar [r;p'K].

and prayers for the folks in the Texas panhandle (and, i would guess, Oklahoma) as they undergo the terrible wildfires.
Yes! Terrible wild fires ravaging the Panhandle. Govenor declared State of Emergency. God be with the peoples losing property and the firefighters risking their lives to control the fires.
The wild fire in Texas, and now into Oklahoma, is getting worse. God be with all of the peoples in its parth, and with the firefighters trying to contain it. So much destruction. Two people have died, and countless numbers of animals as well. The land itself is being ravaged. IMO, God will have to intervene to make a rapid difference in the control and extinguishing of this fire.
As well, prayers for all those in California and other States that are being hit with the biggest snow storm this Winter. Some places getting seven to ten feet of snow.......goodness. Again, property damage, as well as numerous accidents taking place. I do not know if any have died because of the storm, but prayers are needed.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)
2 Corinthians, Chapter 5:
18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
