We continue our Easter series You Don’t Really Expect Me to Believe That! Today’s topic: obedience. Not exactly a catchy idea, is it? Yet obedience is our call as followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ words to his disciples on the eve of his death were, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Once again Jesus pushes the limits of our belief by challenging us with an idea that, if we accept it, will change our lives.
