Two mintue read.

Jesus believed in himself because He believed in the Father.  When He said; I am the way, he was putting out there, that life and movement could be found in Him.

New Life, according to Jesus, is identified by these 3 words: 

PATH that leads to the PLACE that He is PREPARING

The Path is a journey that continually leads and connects us to God. We access this Path through an ongoing encounter with Jesus. Think of it like this; Today Transforms Tomorrow.

The Path doesn’t invite us to study Abstract Theology. It calls us to measure ourselves against the life of Jesus. 

The Place isn’t just Heaven, it’s Heaven on Earth right now. God isn’t waiting on us to come to Him because He has already sent Jesus to us.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us; salt and light. He believed that we carried a glimpse of what life is meant to be.

The Preparation doesn’t begin at the “Pearly Gates”. It begins with Where we are, Who we are, and When we are ready.

In their book, The Shaping of Things to Come (Frost and Hirsch) write about a concept called; Prevenient Grace: the confidence that God goes before us, preventing (preparing) our participation in His work!

The more we are on the Path, in Place with God :

  • The more He prepares us to give away His Grace to others.
  • The more He prepares us to include not exclude others.
  • The more He Prepares us to be a community within a community not a religious sub-culture.
  • The more He Prepares you and me, the more we will offer a life alternative to the status quo.

Blessings,

MC
