Many people so idolize the lives and experiences of the disciples that we don't get a very accurate picture of just how human they were. They were often confused, just like we are. They were often weak in faith, just like we are. They often found it hard to trust Jesus, just like we do. This is about learning how to live in the light, and not in the dark.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
