This brings us back to the fifth big idea of the Jesus Movement: The Kingdom of God is at hand. Trust in God.
The truth of the proclamation that the Kingdom of God is at hand comes about as Jesus' followers trust God. By giving way to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of the community which they form around the open table of the bread and the cup, the Kingdom of God becomes real around them.
Christianity is not about an abstract transaction that takes place between an individual and God. It is about making the power of God a full-blooded reality here and now.
As Jesus' student followers faithfully gather together, they become the reality of Christ, alive in this world.
