Why live a pedestrian life when you may run a resurrection life? Today we had a great day of worship at church. What a joy!
In thinking of what living the Christian Way is like we talked of the preparation that goes into becoming a follower of Jesus. Preparation comes through the sermons heard, the lessons discussed, the conversations participated in and a host of other experiences that bring us to the place of becoming followers. The life requires that moment of "yes." The resurrection life is then lived in on-going relationship with Christ and leads to joyful celebration.
We likened the Christian life to a race. Runners train and prepare. There comes the moment when the starter gun sounds and the runner starts the race. The race is run with strategy and determination. On a good day the race concludes with joyful celebration.
If you want to see what that looks like google Michael Johnson's world record 400 meter run.
Easter is a great reminder that we are invited - called - to live a resurrection life. Don't settle for a pedestrian life, wandering through your days on your own or just giving lip service to God. Join the resurrection race. Live in relationship with Jesus Christ. Life is amazing when lived in step with the Spirit.
It's been a great day. I hope you've had a good day too.
