This week, Dennis Allan talked through how we must learn Jesus' teachings if we are to become like Him and take on His character and ways. The journey of spiritual formation requires us to be reshaped and reformed until we resemble Jesus in every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, desires, choices, actions, and affections. If we're to be people whose lives point to the Kingdom while we live inside the American empire, and if the church is to be an outpost of the Kingdom in our neighborhoods, then we need to know Jesus' teaching. Jesus possess the words of eternal life. Everything we need and everything we need to know is found in HIm. To be Jesus' representatives, we must know, embody, and live out His Kingdom teaching, otherwise we won't know how to love mercy, do justice, or walk humbly with God.
