It is in Christ’s example that we step closest to the sacred—not by trying to rise above our humanity, but rather by embracing who we are and finding God in life as we live it now. Through his book Becoming Human, Taylor reflects on Christ's teachings as they apply to us every day, in every situation, as templates designed by God incarnate. They appear so basic—Become Simple, Help the Poor, Wake Up, Be Yourself—yet in these simple teachings Jesus offers us the way to new life.
Spirituality offers the possibility that we can actually become free from the destructive energy of a stressed-out life. Spirituality promises a kind of simplicity in the midst of our complex world.
It is easy enough to say “things will work out,” or “you’ll know what’s right,” or “God will show you the way.” All of these statements may be true, but in the meantime, how do we actively search for the best way forward?
Many spiritual seekers, genuine in their quest, cannot bring themselves to “believe in Jesus Christ” in the way that they think the church expects them to.
