The way we’re told to follow God often seems like a bewitchment – ignore our problems and questions and just believe. But in John 6 we see that what Jesus calls us to is not blind faith, but a carefully considered commitment to follow him to the Cross. Coming face-to-face with Jesus’ sacrificial love makes believers out of all of us.

If we’re willing to face our monsters head-on, we can find freedom and hope.
