Luke (Letter 42, Larry Crabb’s 66 Love Letters)

Let Jesus lead the way
The road to perfect maturity will make us vulnerable to severe temptations that those who settle for apparent maturity will feel less strongly. But if we want to be formed like His Son that is the road we must choose, the one less traveled.
In Matthew, God introduced His Son to us as our King. He told us how citizens of His kingdom are to live.
In Mark, we met His Son as our humble servant, a man who made no demands for Himself. His complete lack of spiritual entitlement called us to recognize and hate ours.
Perfect maturity feels deeply and loves generously even when life is hard. That is what it means to become like His Son.
Jesus told his followers to wait until the Spirit came.
We can become apparently mature without His Spirit’s power. Human effort is sufficient.
Peace will come to Earth only when everyone is perfectly mature.
Movement in that direction requires the power of His Spirit, to divide and expose the two roads within us, leading us forward to the narrow road.
