If we are to be spiritually formed in Christ, we must understand and implement the general pattern that all effective efforts toward personal transformation must follow: appropriate vision, intention, and means.
Vision of Life in the Kingdom
When Jesus walked the earth He manifested the Kingdom. He showed compassion, He healed and delivered, He listened actively as others told their story, He spoke truth with grace, He manipulated the material universe (miracles). He lived out of a place completely different from this planet.
So must we. Developing the needed vision requires that we look intently at the gospels again and again to see how he behaved and taught: to be encouraged, challenged, shocked, and little by little transformed.
Today, I will live my life IN THE KINGDOM. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth..."
