Neutrality in our relationship to Jesus is not an option. We either step forward or back in our relationship to him. Steps forward look like trusting Jesus enough to ask him hard questions about why life is the way life is; joining him in doing God's work; going where he sends us, just because he says so; a growing openness to changing our view of him; and worshiping him as he shows himself to be. Steps back look like assessing Jesus through the grid of our preconceptions;  disbelieving evidence of his work; disassociating from him because of the significant cost; disassociating from people who can bear witness to Jesus as the light; doubling down on unbelief; and terminal unbelief.
