If new creation has any chance of reshaping and remaking us, then we have to do the hard work of listening. And here’s the thing. If we are listening to Jesus, we are going to be rattled now and then. Our way is going to be out of alignment with his way now and then. And then we have to choose who to follow.  

 From Luke 6, let me just rattle it off. Love enemies. Pray for those who mistreat you. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Refuse to use violence to get back at those who’ve used violence against you. Help the hurting. Be kind to those who are not grateful for your kindness. Be merciful. Judge yourself. Forgive. Let me say this in case it’s not obvious yet. New Creation Living is not exclusively owned by any of our political parties. A Christian’s priority is their citizenship in God’s kingdom.
