Together: An Easter Series — Maggie H. Johnson

Easter is the season in which we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on our behalf. Because of His sacrifice, we have access to an abundance that touches every part of our lives — even and especially our communities. Jesus took our silos and made them circles, showing us once again that kingdom living looks different than the world might expect.

Jesus cared so much about community that His ministry was marked by relationship. Our Christ, who had all power and authority, chose to share that power and authority with His friends and followers.

Every Wednesday in March, I will be sharing a story about how Jesus engaged community, about how Jesus surrounded Himself instead of siloing Himself. Each post will be separated into three sections: a reading, a reflection, and a response. As you make your way through the stories, it is my hope that you will be drawn to the abundant and communal way of kingdom life.

Through His life, Jesus shows us how to be with others. Through His ministry, Jesus shows us how to serve others. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus shows us how to be for others.

Jesus teaches us how to be together.
