My Short Version of Christianity. What’s Yours?

Christianity is about experiencing the unconditional Love of God fleshed out in Jesus with both our heart and our mind.

Christianity is about forgiveness.

Christianity is about passing on that Love.

Christianity is about loving people more than loving being right.

Christianity is about the awesome God of the universe being within each of us.

Christianity is about accepting that we are all “earthen vessels,” which means we are all probably at least slightly “cracked.” So, though we are Spirit filled, we leak!

Christianity is about recognizing that Jesus is a well where we can go to refill.

Christianity is about realizing that the Spirit of God works differently in diverse people, maybe like a geyser, or a brook, or even an underground river.

Christianity is about valuing the fruit of the Spirit: peace, love, joy in whatever wrapping or label it wears.

Christianity is about Jesus showing us that this life is not all there is.
