Readying about the story of how Jesus was obedient to death on a cross according to his Father's will for me will be something that I can never fully grasp. On that cross my sins were taken and now I'm ransomed by Christ. Jesus knew this pain and suffering was coming to him yet he had no complaints. When I look back on my own walk, I complain about something so trivial such as a lack of sleep or ice-cream cravings... all these things that can't even come near to the debt that Jesus cleared with his actions.
I believe that if I can personally understand the Gospel deep down in my heart, then all my words, deeds, and thoughts will begin to align with a lifestyle just like Jesus. Here at the retreat the speaker shed life on dichotomies that we make that shouldn't exist... public vs. private spiritaul life, individual vs. corporate/community spiritual life, and physical vs. spiritual wellbeing. If i can stop compartmentalizing these aspects of life then I will be able to reflect the Gospel and live out a life of a disciple much better.
