shift. more than motions.
In the book of Matthew there is a story of Jesus hanging out with some religious leaders called “Pharisees.” Pharisees believed their salvation would come from living in accordance to a strict rule-system. Basically, if they did the “right things” in the “right ways”… they would go to Heaven (so they thought). The Pharisees even had a crazy hand washing ritual they had to do before they ate. They believed that anyone who didn’t wash their hands as they did… was sinning and dirty.
So,Jesus went to eat dinner at a Pharisee’s house, and He didn’t wash his hands. The Pharisees scoffed. They looked down on Jesus. So, like any amazing person would do—Jesus put them in their place. “You hypocrites… you may tithe, but you have forgotten the important things in life, like: justice, mercy, and faith. You should practice these without neglecting the former.”—Matthew 23:23
Jesus taught a different message than that of the Pharisees. Jesus said this about himself, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.”—John 14:6
See, lots of people have thought they can earn their way into Heaven. Jesus says its not about our motions, but our heart-condition. So here at shift , you’ll learn how your heart affects your motions. As Christ-followers, our hearts connect with God, causing motions to align with His purposes. shift. more than motions.
