Scripture Text: John 3:16-19, 'The life the historic Jesus promised'
Christ-centered living helps to explain why Jesus of Nazareth is also called the Christ of Faith. The historical Jesus steadfastly obeyed and fully manifested God's will and vision for human life as kingdom living, here on earth. This awesome human achievement and realization, in the Holy Spirit, is called he Paschal Mystery.
After the historical Jesus' ascension, the risen Christ was revealed as the eternal Christ of Faith, in the kingdom of God, within every person and in our midst. Christ-centered spirituality declares that by faith, obedience and following the historical Jesus, the Christ of Faith can be fully incarnate and fully appropriated in the hearts and lives of all who believe
At birth, all human beings after Adam and Eve begin life’s journey on the slippery slopes to spiritual deafness, spiritual blindness, spiritual sleep and spiritual death. Many people continue to lost sight of God’s original vision of Christ-centered kingdom living here on earth, which the historical Jesus revealed, taught and modeled. We can now have eternal life by following the historical Jesus in living the Paschal Mystery.
