I’m thinking about Sunday.  I feel so intense about the message for this weekend.  So many people flow through life just taking whatever comes, almost lifelessly.  Just moving from one year to the next.  Just existing.  The very idea of creating the life God intends us to live is so foreign to so many.

One of the most profound statements of Jesus was “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).  Yet so often “life to the full” seems like a pipe dream for many.  We think somehow that life is going to just drop out of the sky one day, somehow it will just happen.  Then, as we grow older and it doesn’t, we tell ourselves it was just some kind of spiritual talk with a deeper meaning… somehow Jesus didn’t really mean what he said.  But, what if he did?  What if we were to stop waiting and begin creating?

If it were all up to God wouldn’t every Christ-follower automatically have this “life to the full?”  Of course, apart from him it won’t happen, but in our love relationship with God, loving him back is our part.  I believe God is more ready to create that life in us than we are to receive it.  What if while we’ve been waiting… he’s been waiting?  What if God has already done everything necessary for us to experience this life and he’s waiting on us to step into it?

How do we do that… this Sunday at C3 Church we will begin the journey of creating, and we’ll never be the same.  This Sunday we will take the first step as we “Create”!
