Everything Jesus Said to Do
On Sunday 27th January we considered a possible new sign for us to erect out the front of the church proposed by Dallas Willard and based on the great commission in Matthew 28:
We Teach All Who Seriously Commit Themselves to Jesus
How to Do Everything He Said to Do
We had a short discussion time and people submitted various areas where we were challenged. There was a significant amount of overlap (indicated by bold text) so here in the best tradition of top 10 lists is our top 17:
- be humble
- do not judge
- do not worry
- forgive
- heal sick,
- free captives
- feed poor
- love God more, abide in Christ
- love others
- love enemies
- put self out
- put God first
- sharing possesions
- spreading gospel, teaching what we’ve learnt to others
- visiting people
- discover people’s needs and try to offer help
- be salt of the earth
This is a challenging list. I would be interested to get your comments. Which of these do you find challenging. Are there challenging aspects of Jesus' teaching that we have left out? Have you grown in any of these areas - how did it happen?
