As we move further along in the Walk: Essential Practices for the Christian Life, Pastor Mia helps us understand the significance of deeper relationships.
Christian living includes three relationship dimensions: Up, In, and Out:
- Up is the relationship with God.
- In is the relationship with close friends.
- Out is the relationship with the crowds.
Jesus maintained the three relationship dimensions by constantly praying “up” to God, his father. Jesus spent time with his “in” people, the disciples and women including Mary Magdalene, Susanna, and Joanna. The crowds were Jesus’ “out” people. He didn’t wait for the crowds to come to him. He went to them.
Living Up, In, and Out are essential for our spiritual well being. Jesus kept the three relationship dimensions in balance. We, however, might be strong in only one or two of them. Getting better takes being intentional and leaving our comfort zones. We can begin the journey by acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God.
