Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

It’s crucial to learn to say your own Christian worldview clearly and in many different ways. And it’s all crucial to ask to listen to other worldviews. Ask the worldview questions: What do you feel is the purpose of human existence? What do you think went most wrong with the world? What do you think can be done about it? Listen. Really listen. And then ask if you can briefly share how you see the world.

The spirituality of our interconnectedness in Christ directs us to work out its practicality. We live our individual distinctiveness in concord with other believers. Paul writes with piercingly simple profundity. A body has many parts. Each one is needed. A body won’t work if somehow, absurdly, the hand starts complaining it wants to be an eye. Or if the nose disdains the feet that carry the body. Within our shared life in Christ, we need each other’s unique contributions, and even each others’ different, sometimes difficult backgrounds.

You made it! The last week of "In Christ Alone: Discovering Where You Truly Live." Prepare your hearts for Holy Week where you remember the dying of Jesus and celebrate his rising.

O that birth forever blessed, when the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bore the Savior of our race, And the babe, the world’s Redeemer, first revealed his sacred face.
