What are my options?

Audra writes:
I am completely overwhelmed by what I've been reading in Dallas Willard's, "The Divine Conspiracy." There are so many new thoughts that while I'm only 20+ pages into chapter 5, I already feel like I need to start reading it over again. There are so many things I want to discuss I can hardly wait until Monday morning. Here are a few things I'm struck with and convicted about...

- How we (as Christians) have somehow overlooked or underplayed the brilliancy of Christ. How, although I worship him, I identify with the description Willard gives of Jesus as a man who "from time to time perhaps utters disconnected though profound and vaguely radical irrevelencies, now obscurely preserved in our Gospels." I had to laugh out loud.

- How I've missed the essential order of the Sermon on the Mount and how it must be followed through in process to make sense and be "achievable."

- But one of the quotes or ideas that I loved most was Willard's statement concerning the aim of the sermon, "Repent, for life in the kingdom of the heavens is now one of your options."
