Written by Uli Chi, a contemporary business leader, writer, teacher, and mentor.
The early 20th-century evangelist, Billy Sunday, was asked what the ideal Christian life looked like. He was said to have replied: “You walk down the ‘sawdust trail’ in the revival tent. You accept Jesus at the altar. And then you walk out of the tent, get hit by a truck, and go straight to heaven.” No backsliding, no spiritual growth necessary, “instant eternity!” That’s a far cry from the biblical story told about Jesus. To grow up like Jesus means learning to grow up as a human being. To learn to love God and to love your neighbor. To be curious about the world God created and entrusted to us. And to discover our vocation and contribution to that world. That kind of formation takes a long time and requires us to be immersed in the ordinary circumstances of life.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. [Galatians 6:9]
