Manage episode 430244431 series 3560846
It’s time to arise and shine, for the glory of Christ has risen upon you! (Isaiah 60:1) In this episode of Revealing Jesus, hosted by Christina Perera, listeners are invited to journey deeper into understanding our beautiful savior, Jesus, through a compelling conversation with Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church. The episode is a part of Christina's summer throwback series, focusing on Bill’s insightful book "The Mind of God: How His Wisdom Can Transform Our World."
Bill shares how God’s wisdom, exemplified profoundly in Solomon’s life, can transform individuals and entire nations. He emphasizes Christians’ responsibility to be the salt and light of the world, impacting not just church congregations but also secular realms like business, education, and medicine. Bill drives home that all life is sacred under God, abolishing the perceived divide between secular and sacred.
Bill passionately discusses the significance of personal revival and how cultivating deep affection for Jesus can lead to broader societal changes. The conversation moves towards practical applications of this revivalist mindset, highlighting how Christians can influence their neighborhoods and workplaces by embodying the wisdom and power of God. Bill's reflections on Isaiah 60 underline the responsibility to "arise and shine" in times of darkness, ushering in an understanding that the power of the gospel can ignite transformation on all levels of society. "We have to live as though we're going to have an entire lifetime to display the wonder, the beauty, the power of the gospel to bring transformation." - Bill Johnson.
