Christians have a reputation of acting as if the world is doomed and their main objective is to complain about it, survive it, and eventually escape it. They seem to believe hope is reserved for heaven, and the only thing available on earth is pessimism. Jesus called His followers the “light of the world”, but many people experience them as a dark cloud of discouragement. But what if hope wasn’t something reserved for later, but something we can access here and now? What if God’s expectation isn’t that we escape the earth, but that we bring heaven to earth? If we could, how would we do it? What would that look like? And how might it change our outlook on life if we truly believed it were possible?

Many people walk away from church because they felt as if they were surrounded by hypocrites—people who said one thing but did another. And honestly, they’re not wrong. The church IS full of hypocrites because it’s full of people, and people are often inconsistent. The problem we have is not that people make mistakes, it’s that they won’t admit to and own their mistakes, while coming down on others for theirs. That’s what we can’t stand. And as it turns out, Jesus couldn’t stand it either. But His solution wasn’t to lower God’s expectations, but to invite people to look in the mirror and start with themselves. But to do this, they’d need more than willpower. They’d need the power of the Holy Spirit to help them face the worst parts of themselves, something many of us still aren’t willing to do.

If you ask an outsider what they think of Christians, they’re likely to say, “They’re judgmental and think they’re better than everyone else.” And there’s a good chance their answer is based on personal experience. Some won’t set foot inside a church because they’re convinced all eyes will be on them, staring them down as if they don’t belong. They’re convinced the only way to fit in is to fix everything about themselves first. Interestingly, this isn’t the experience people had with Jesus at all. The most notorious sinners felt comfortable sitting, eating, talking, and laughing with Jesus. And many of these people made radical changes to their lives without being called out, condemned, or shamed for their sin. Jesus was focused on building real relationship, not getting people to behave according to the rules. What would it look like to make His way our way?
