The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part TwoMuestra
Daily Reflection: One of the most profound exercises one can do as a Christian is self-examination and reflection, to see what might stand in the way of having true intimacy with Christ. For the rich man, it was his possessions. He cared more about his possessions than the Kingdom; so when Jesus asked him to sell everything, he was unable to let them go for the cause of Christ. The kingdom of this world pressures us to pursue what is new, now, and next. All the while, our everlasting God calls us into His unchanging love and an eternal kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Daily Demonstration: Jesus wants to be first in our lives, from the moment we wake to the moment we lie down. Think about how quick you are to check those phone notifications. When you wake up, do you grab your bible or your phone first? When you come home, do you turn on the TV right away, or do you spend some time decompressing with God? Choose one moment today where you would typically turn to something material, and decide to put God first.

The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
