called a little child and had him stand among them. Then he said, "I tell you the truth. Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

If this man Jesus — the one who noticed the sincerity of little children — owned an island and lived there to manage it, what would you expect to find there?

  • Sharp dealers, quick to drive hard bargains
  • Peaceful society, everyone sharing all they have
  • Soldiers, ready to blow out their enemies brains
  • Non-violence, active peace-making
  • Entertainers, doing crazy things on stage
  • Industry, everyone with something profitable to do
  • Married couples, cheating on one another
  • Marital faithfulness, happy homes
  • Unrestrained children, hurting themselves and others
  • Well-trained, orderly children, living in peace
  • A wrecked polluted environment
  • Clean healthy surroundings, in tune with nature
  • Stuck-up people, insisting on being the only ones right
  • Humble people, ready to keep on learning
  • Procrastinators, living on hand-outs, watching TV
  • Structured society, well-organised, supporting itself

See, that was easy!

Whether you are Christian or not, you can easily identify the good way of life from the bad. You know what makes society happy and keeps it that way. God planted that knowledge in every one of us, and gave us an inner light (intuition) with which to see it.

All that remains is to turn from the bad way, believe in Jesus, and live it! And that, on Jesus' Island, is not hard. Neither is it wishful thinking, a "utopian ideal". For two thousand years the society of Jesus’ Island has flourished and grown. For Jesus’ Island is Jesus’ Kingdom — the "Kingdom of Heaven" on earth

Everything Jesus rules over belongs to his Kingdom — all living, growing, or moving things throughout the universe. But nowhere does his Kingdom become more gloriously apparent than in the transformed society of those that believe on him. In his Kingdom Communities, little pictures on earth of the Kingdom of Heaven. We, at Rocky Cape in Tasmania, thank God for our place in such a community — a visible, fully functional, here-and-now community — and say with Jesus, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

Welcome to Jesus' Island!
