Cru15: Ideas For Making Your Life CountSample

Emptying Ourselves
Jesus lived in the same world we do, and asked us to mirror the life He led while here. But, what exactly does that look like? "Kenosis," the Greek word meaning "emptying oneself," describes Jesus' humble approach to everyone He encountered. He gave of Himself to empower those who had no voice or standing in society. Social psychologist and professor, Dr. Christena Cleveland, explains how to apply kenosis in our own lives - just like Jesus did.

What an inspiring charge for us all. Following the footsteps of our Savior, we too can empty parts of ourselves to uplift others. Carve out some extended quiet time with God to explore aspects of your identity that give you power. Ask God to reveal people who are marginalized around you. Then pursue ways to help make space at the table for each of them.
About this Plan

Cru is a movement dedicated to helping everyone know someone who truly follows Jesus. In July 2015, over 5,000 Cru staff gathered for a week of inspirational growth - leaving with refreshed hearts and renewed vision. Each of these five devotionals from Cru15 contains a short audio segment from a main speaker (1-2 minutes). Our prayer is that these highlights help you trust God to make your life count.
