Do you believe like Jesus? As Jesus journeyed to the cross and beyond, he had to be sure of one thing. Everything—his life, his ministry, his sacrifices—rested on this one thing. Jesus had to be sure that his twelve disciples were ready to step up their spiritual game.

To live into their true calling as apostles—no longer students of the Gospel, but agents of the Gospel—The Twelve would need to make a fundamental shift. They would need to move from believing in Jesus to believing like Jesus. Otherwise, they could not bring Jesus’ Kingdom dream into reality. And the message would die when Jesus did.

So what is it that Jesus believed? And is it even possible for mere humans to believe these things as well?

What Jesus Believed

1. Partnership: Jesus believed he was one with God. Through this partnership, he co-created miracles with God. ­­

3. Superpower: Jesus believed he had superpowers. His greatest superpower was working with ordinary people, places, and things to bring about brand new realities.
4. Purpose: Jesus believed his life had a purpose. He allowed this purpose to guide his daily living and decision-making.

From Disciple to Apostle

Just as Jesus needed to know, way back when, if The Twelve were ready to step up their spiritual game, so the world needs to know today. The world needs to know if the church is prepared to move from discipleship to apostleship, the world wants to know if the friends and followers of Jesus are ready to be Christ-like—to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves—and to act with sacrificial love.

I look forward to the Forty Days of Apostleship and sharing with you the six soulful steps to believe like Jesus so that you can answer yes. So much hangs in the balance.

This Lent may be free to live with new beliefs, new courage, and new love. And may you be open to taking actions that make a real difference in the world.
