Shalom!! Have you ever wondered how being a Christian is different from other religions? Well, in other religions, people worship their gods outside of themselves, often in a designated place. But for us Christians, our faith experience is on a whole other level. You see, before Christ, God only dwelled among his followers. But after Christ rose from the dead, God began to live inside of us permanently. Can you imagine that? The creator of heaven and earth is living inside of us! Even angels don't have this privilege.

With God inside us, we can recreate heaven anytime and anywhere we like. That's what Jesus meant by praying "thy will be done in the earth as it is in heaven". This speaks to the idea of control, not as a politician, but as a creator. As Christians, we are co-creators with God. Pretty cool, huh?

CONFESSION

I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me and shows me the way of doing things.
