Sympathizers

'Club Preguntas' (Question Club) ended last Thursday. This seven-week course was an opportunity for non-believers to ask any questions they had about the Christian faith and to explore a few of our own (Who is Jesus? Was he resurrected or not? What's going on with the world? Why did Jesus have to die? What would it mean to be a disciple? Who will come with me on the journey?). A few people's friends joined us for handfuls of weeks, now and then. (Regular attendance is a bit tricky here.) The ladies there on the final Thursday were both very appreciative of Christianity - feeling a real sense of spiritual connectedness and finding stories of the Bible very beautiful. My pastor ended with this challenge - Jesus has no interest in adherents: he wants disciples, people who will give their lives over to him and, receiving his Spirit, seek to honour him through each part of every day.
