When Jesus calls anyone to follow him he calls them to bring their “whole” person along. Jesus
is never interested in just your thoughts or just your actions, he wants all of you. This is nothing
new for God. From the beginning Israel was called to love God with their entire being or in
Hebrew their “Nephesh.” It was a call on their lives then and is just as specific of a call on our
lives today. So how do we fall short? What parts of our lives are difficult to give to Jesus and
why? Is their hope in the midst of this struggle? This week we dig deep into the Shema and
specifically God’s call to offer our entire self to him.
