Can you imagine if the principles of Jesus’ Teaching had been recited over the centuries, each time with conviction?

I believe in loving my enemies and blessing those who persecute me

I believe in nonviolent resistance to social injustice

I believe in storing up my treasures in heaven instead of on earth

I believe that before judging another it’s best if I take the beam out of my own eye first

I believe in a shalom-saturated society wherein we treat each other like we wish to be treated

Though culturally counterintuitive, the Jesus way is the way for which humans were originally constructed. We were made for this. It’s our soul’s home, the air we were meant to breathe. The One who made us knows what we’re made of and made for. Hence, he has the inside track on how we must live and how to empower us to function for peak performance.
