What’s the link between our destination and our way? This is one of those things that is not difficult to comprehend but by all appearances, famously difficult to obey.

The way is often not apparent or is offensive to us. Or it may be that the way we have chosen is so precious to us that we have lost both the clarity and the concern about our destination. In any evet, it is improbable that we will choose the way of Jesus even if we affirm the goodness of his destination.

This is the situation that Mahlon Zehr addresses, exploring how these four virtues enable us to follow the way of Jesus.

Mahlon speaks as a farmer, educator, and writer from northern Oregon.

“A foolish man chooses his way and must accept his destiny, but a wise man chooses his destiny and accepts the way.” -Anon.
