Jesus was all about life. He was about giving life, choosing life, doing life. And He said He came that we might have life to the fullest. Yet oftentimes, followers of Jesus are some of the people most devoid of “life”. In fact, we even are known by our society to be judgmental, critical, hypocritical, and boring.


Something has gone wrong with the way we follow Jesus. The life of following Him is one of adventure. Of joy. Of beauty and passion and intimacy. Of love. Weren’t these things exactly what the first followers of Jesus were marked by? How can we start being known by these again?


If we understand who Jesus Christ is and what
He has done for us, we should be the ones filled with the most joy, who love overwhelmingly, who live life in a way that lets the watching world know we are following a living God, the author of beauty and joy and passion and creativity…the Author of life.


Will you to join me this month on a journey to explore what it is to follow Jesus into what He called “life to the fullest”?
