Walking with Jesus – A Year-Long Journey
By: Rev. Aaron VanDerVeen
The purpose of this journey is to simply become like Jesus the LORD. We encourage you to not just read
these stories as you would a work of fiction, but listen to, learn from, and live into the life of Jesus who
invites us to follow him and to drink from his life. Jesus then promises us that we will truly be free and
that His life will flow out from us (see John 7:37-39 and 8:31-38). So, brothers and sister, drink deep…let
the Word of God, which is Jesus, marinate in you and may the love of God the Father transform you
through the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells within you.
Can you help me in this journey?
Start with Prayer – open yourself up to the Holy Spirit, inviting the Spirit to speak
Listen to Jesus – read the Word slowly and audibly so that you can see it and hear it
Learn from Jesus– when you come to something that catches your attention, stop and think about what
is being said and why that particular passage about Jesus is speaking to you
Live Jesus – what is Jesus calling you to through His life and His words
Love Jesus – spend time in prayer again, but this time specifically about what God has just spoken to
you. You may be called to confess sin, a weakness, or express a need. You may simply praise Jesus or
give thanks. Don’t worry; the Spirit will guide us if we allow Him.
