Mt5:42 Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

Facebook has an estimated $96 billlion net worth.In our cultural frenzy of dazzling social media how do you really connect with other people?!In Jesus sermon on the mount Jesus calls for a way of relating to others that completely transcends how we relate on a human level. This is a call to interact with others in a way that reaches the deepest aspect of someone elses life. Each individual has been fashioned in the image of God, and Jesus placed a significant value on human life and potential. He died to restore human worth and dignity due to the loss that sin brought into the world. To embrace the beatitudes creates a reservoir of kingdom rescources to bring into our relationships with others. In John 15:13 Jesus Christ told his most intimate followers that no one has greater love than that someone would lay down his life for his friends.

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus has taken on all of my faults and shortcomings. I am living significant destiny in new freedom of past brokeness as my life is being reclaimed and transformed. This is core. I once settled for mediocrity;but now I embrace my role as overcomer and a leader worth following. It is vital for me to engege in challenging negative messages in light of who I am in new resurrection life. Our lives are given divine significance as we walk  through the resurrection, and we are transformed into a new creation that is marked by great works should we choose to bring the life of God into the world through what Jesus has done for us.
