What Jesus was about

What Jesus was about

I guess I tend to associate the gospel with humanity relative to how people are acting more like "kingdom people," regardless of their religious affiliation or non-affiliation. It seems to me that Christ wasn't so fixated on whether other people loved him or not (though this was certainly mentioned, but not so much as a prerequisite of acceptance

into what he was about). I think Jesus identified with those who were simply what he was about himself (making his god's world a better place), not so much, if at all, dependent upon whether someone loved and devoted themselves to him.

I found the above quote on Emergent Village website. I believe that the central core of the life and work of jesus was the Kingdom and I can understand that when people get involved and live out the Kingdom principles in their lives regardless of their religious affiliation or non-affilliation these people would seem to be what Jesus was about.

I think there was a story in the Gospels when the disciples were horrified because some folk were doing somme good stuff but didn't officially 'belong' to them. Jesus confirmed that the folk were 'with' them because of what they were about.

You see you can call yourself a Christian but you may not be doing the things that Jesus was and is about.

The main part of Kingdom activity is 'making God's world a better place'!
