Reflection Questions

How has Jesus recently corrected and reassured you?
Do you value/love marginalized people?
Do your affections for Jesus move you towards extreme obedience?
Based on your lifestyle would those closest to you say you are living your life WITHOUT, FOR, or WITH Jesus?
Is there something you are seeking to do for Christ, instead of doing it with Christ?
