UNDUE IT ALL?

Those with a few years have learned a bit about life, and in most cases are still learning.  In our childhood the things we learn make a lasting impression. I was taught to respect those older than myself, Today you respect those who earn your respect. Over the years what we have learned changes, but the basics are always there, with upgrades, and enhancements.

Then, the Kingdom Of God comes near and we hear Jesus saying, "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." 

How can we live free and light without something big happening? Here is the catch, we are asked to take everything we have been taught up to this point, in most cases, and accept the opposite to be true. Everything gets turned on it's head until we have a counter culture, even a revolution. So Jesus says, "you have heard, but I say to you" for example, an eye for an eye becomes turn the other cheek.

So what does the Kingdom of God look like? It looks like Jesus, meek and lowly at heart Jesus. The best way to figure this one out is to follow Jesus, till you are born from above, When the Spirit comes upon you and you walk as Jesus does,  you will see.
