Simple Enough

2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV)

3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

I read this morning that the more complicated we get with our religion, the further we drift from Christ.  It makes me think of the contrast between the Pharisee who followed a whole list of do’s and don’ts and the tax collector who stood off in the distance saying, “have mercy on me, a sinner”.

How simple is our rest in Jesus?  Is it working through a list or simply walking with Him?  Do we know Him or just about Him?  

The disciples lived with Him and were changed forever.  That is simple enough for me to remember.
