Practicing the Way | Be With Jesus (John Mark Comer)
Discipleship > Belief + Attendance.
Discipleship = Being with Jesus + Becoming Like Jesus + Doing What Jesus Did
(Participation > Attendance)
Core Question: How are we participating with Jesus (and with each other) in the dream God has imagined for us since the beginning of time?
Turning God into A Habit
Where do our minds settle, where does our attention turn when we have opportunities to rest?
What are things we do besides resting when our minds and bodies have a chance to be still?
The Reward for Following Jesus is Jesus!
Practical Ways to Be with Jesus
- Pray the Psalms (Not Read, Pray)
- Meditate on a Passage of Scripture
- Talk to God About Our Life
- Listen for His Voice
- Attempt to Let Go (Cast our Burdens on God)
- Just Sit
- Focus on Our Breath
- Look at What Our Eyes Can’t See
Find Our Secret Place
“If we want to reach the depth of life with God that Jesus modeled, we need to find a diversion-free place to get away and be alone with the Father. It could be an office in the woods, your bedroom late at night, or a park down the street from your house. Or if all that fails, a closet or pantry. The point is, like Jesus, we need to learn to hide.” Comer, 56-57
