Practicing The Way - Slowing

As we continue our study in the Practices of the Way of Jesus, we focus this week on a Practice that is seen tucked between the lines of scripture. We understandably become focused on the ‘what’ of Jesus’ life and ministry and we often overlook the ‘how’ - How did he go about his life? His ministry? Looking at his lifestyle, we see that Jesus lived with a pace or cadence of life that allowed him to love God and others perfectly, be attentive to the Father and the world around him, be interrupted, and be fully intentional in everything he did and said. This pace of life - very slow by our standards - is difficult yet refreshing for us in our cultural moment of speed and hurry.
