What does living like Christ look like?

Isn't it a tragedy that people who claim to follow Jesus look so much like the rest of the world?

We are trapped in the same consumerism, we follow the same sporting events, we waste as much money on excessive material things.

I'm tired of following the world's system. Because I believe in a better system.

I believe in The Way of Jesus.

A Way in which millions of dollars aren't wasted on "games", but people give their money freely to those who need it.

A Way in which no one takes more than he needs. It reminds me of how when God sent manna to provide for His people in the wilderness. Whoever tried to stock up, to get ahead, to take more than was necessary found that his excess would spoil by the next day.

A Way in which people don't measure their worth by their gains and losses materially, but remember that they are members of the Kingdom of Heaven in which whoever loses their life will find it.

"It's an inside, outside, upside down kingdom
Where you lose to gain and you die to win"

Are you more worried about who's going to win the game than about that your neighbors are dying from lack of clean water?

Are you more concerned about getting that "right" job than your neighbors are engaging in genocides and can't even feed their families properly?

Let's take a look at our hearts and try to line up our priorities with the Prince of Peace.
