Written by Brian Morykon, a contemporary writer.
Jesus preached and demonstrated the Kingdom of Heaven, the realm where justice and wholeness are the norm. So, it makes sense that following Jesus means doing outward things that help bring God’s Kingdom to our corner of Earth. What that looks like day to day will be different for each of us according to our life season and unique calling. But it’ll look like something. And if we’re doing the outward stuff, we better also be doing the inward stuff and together stuff—solitude and sabbath and worship, the practices Jesus modeled and taught. Inner work, like outward work, is much easier to talk about than to do. And it’s easy to confuse the talking for the doing … The full and good life Christ offers us is a balance of outward, inward, and together. So let’s be intentional about actually doing all the stuff. Together. With God.
You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. [2 Corinthians 3:2]
