Living Zugos exists to answer the question, How do we follow Jesus today? Every week or two there will be a new post with a spiritual discipline for Jesus followers to experiment. Zugos is the Greek word for yoke. May you discover the beauty of learning & resting in Jesus' yoke.

About Me

- Simply one who is living and teaching The Way of Jesus. Not someone who has all the right answers or even living a perfect life, just trusting Jesus. So, I have thrown my lot in with Jesus of Nazereth and decided to follow Him, not looking back but forward to that day when I will be fully crucified with Him. "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
Jesus
The majority of the Western Church now makes little to no practical application to Jesus. We have no idea how to relate to this man who walked among us. Jesus is our ticket into heaven and out of hell. He is our hope for the after life, but not this life. May He be our all consuming passion and desire. Jesus is not a means to an end; He is the means and the end.
The Kingdom of God
The major theme of Jesus teachings was not His death on a cross, but the presence of His kingdom among us now. With the coming of Jesus comes this new presence, this new reality that begins to be the home of the student of Jesus. We seek it always. We seek to be in it, we seek to be changed by it; we seek to wield the power of it.
Cross
Jesus of Nazareth did not die so I could live. Jesus of Nazareth died so I could die with Him. We live in a body that is primarily concerned about its desires. It looks to please them at every instance. And it is because of this fact the world suffers as it does.

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
