It is a bit wordy, so you may want to read it out loud to yourself a few times! “As a disciple of Jesus I am with him, by choice and by grace, learning from him how to live in the kingdom of God. . . . I am learning from Jesus to live my life as he would live my life if he were I. I am not necessarily learning to do everything he did, but I am learning how to do everything I do in the manner that he did all that he did. . . . I need to be able to lead my life as he would lead it if he were I.” (Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy, p. 283-4).

We have just finished our look at The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ explanation of what it means to live in the Kingdom. Now we’re going to see what a Kingdom life lived out looks like, and what better way to look at a Kingdom life than to look at the life of Jesus. For the next few months we’re going to look at the gospel of John, learning about attributes of a Kingdom life, and how we are to live today.

This Sunday we’ll begin our journey looking at John 2:1-11, Jesus’ first recorded miracle. The life of a follower of Jesus is meant to be one punctuated by joy. We are to be a people who celebrate and rejoice! Come out this Sunday and celebrate with us the new life we have through Him.
