My cardiologists want me to take heart failure seriously. They want me to follow their guidelines for diet and lifestyle that will be of great benefit to me. They only see me for a few minutes every 6 months. I doubt that I cross their minds in the mean time.
Pastors of big churches want us to take our salvation seriously. They want us to do what needs to be done to ensure that we make Heaven our home. They want us to walk by faith and not by sight. We see them behind their own pulpit occasionally and we visit with them in person almost never.
Jesus, after He rose from the dead, said see you boys later. I did my job, now you do you job. Oh, by the way, I will send the Holy Spirit to help you. You cannot see Him but He is there. Trust me.
It seems on the one hand we are surrounded by experts who know what is best for us, but who are not around in person to tell us what to do and how to do it. We are mostly left to live life on our own, only to be reminded from time to time what we are supposed to be doing.
It seems that I am on my own when it comes to life and how to live.
