Jesus has offered to live his life through us. A result of that is we can have contentment. Satisfaction.
Jesus just changes everything. He especially changed our relationship with God. In Jesus, we are to live in full union with God. Unity. Jesus is in the Father. We are in Jesus. Jesus is in us. We are one.That changes everything in the world.
Why did Jesus come? Like he said, he came to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and sight for the blind. To set the oppressed free! Jesus came to bring restoration to all things.
After coming face-to-face with our own lust and anger, we realize that God has come for us while we were still living under their influence. Above that, He expresses his compassion, kindness and forgiveness towards us, and wants us to live under their influence, instead of our lust and anger.As we see the impact of His compassion and kindness, our natural response is one of gratitude. We start to live in peace.
When we realize that it is in the depth of our own lust and anger that God comes for us, we begin to see what compassion, kindness and forgiveness looks like. We begin to understand how much God loves us and cares for us. Then we can begin to treat ourselves with that same compassion and forgiveness. Once we have a grasp on how God treats us, and we begin to treat ourselves that same way, then we can begin to treat others with kindness, compassion and forgiveness.We can take off the old and put on the new.
The pandemic has been traumatic for the whole world. Let's take a look at where we are, and where we are going from here.
Because of our union with Jesus, we are invited to live with him and let him live through us.
Knowing about God is a different experience from knowing God. Do you know God?
Join us we recall the life and death of Jesus, and why we can shout with praise "He is risen!"
