Living invitational lives 2
Jesus lived an invitational life because He has good news - He Is good news - He is the Gospel. The Gospel is His Story "of God came down, of Love came down, of heaven came down [ and glory floods my soul], "
Today we live invitational lives because we also have good news -The Good News in us - what He has effected and is effecting in my life. You and I have a story to tell. The Gospel is more that just the 4 spiritual laws and a futurised or a funeralised gospel of "going to heaven when you die". It [ or rather He ] is alive and is at work in us. He enables us to live meaningfully and abundantly above the cares, the curse, the cries of this gravitational and binding earth. We are a fortaste of heaven on earth - where He wipes away all tears - where there is no more sorrow, pain or death. God who is Love embodies in me and us as a church, His Body.
We invite and share this "good news" in a posture of acknowledging both our brokeness and our belovedness . In our brokeness, He still loves us. In our brokeness He invades us with His Love. From this posture, we live or exist as connected or disconnected community of broken and beloved people. As a connected community who ventures with progressive transparency and honesty we begin to experience joyous healing of our woundedness. When disconnected we are merely surviving in our pseudo okayness with our private pain and loneliness.
It sure takes humble, trusting courage to overcome many fears, to go beyond the surface, to stretch our vulnerability to find and journey with those who desires to rediscover the hidden masterpiece of the Creator within us and His subsequent Recreation through us.
Anybody coming along this journey?
