Youth Time Alone with God

       There is no reason whatsoever to believe what was true of those earliest Christians is any less true of Christians in this century. Surely contemporary crises are no less great, the pains of the world are no less meliorated, the challenges to one’s strength, wisdom, patience, and love are no less demanding of resources beyond human resources than they were in the first century, and followers of Jesus today are no more sufficient for all these in and of themselves than were his followers yesterday. Furthermore, God’s program of enabling people to burst the bounds of their human limitations and achieve the impossible is still in place and still effective – the program that involves filling people with his Spirit, filling them with supernatural power.

 

       Thus Professor Hawthorne concludes that Jesus is to be our model in every area of life. Can you think of a better example of how we are to hear the voice of God?    

       If we reject Jesus, the apostles and the New Testament churches as models for hearing God today, then we are left with no biblical models for hearing him. Who then should we trust to show us how to hear his voice?
