When a person hears the call of Christ to follow, there is more going on than meets the eye.
There is the context in which this call is heard. The culture that has formed the person. All that is going on in the moment. As well as the less defined aspect of what the person hopes for.
There is the content of the person of Jesus. His teaching and his ways of relating to others.
If a person makes the decision to respond favourably to Jesus’ call, there is (at least the beginnings of) a conviction that life is to be found in Jesus’ direction.
Consider the context, content and conviction of your own response to Christ. What do these things help you understand about the nature of your response?
