The Church That I See is a post written by Sherman Kuek yesterday. Here are a couple of paragraphs.
The Church that I see is a Church so committed to raising and empowering a leadership generation who will understand that its task is not so much of reaping the harvest merely as a shallow numerical goal, but rather, reaping the harvest by simply being Christ to the world (even if it may mean a longer journey towards the reaping). It is a Church so enlightened by the understanding that the task of evangelisation is a part of her own discipleship journey rather than an imperialistic attempt at gospelising the world with her body of beliefs without first allowing them to witness the person of Christ in her life.
I see a Church whose head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit and whose focus is the Great Commission. And yet, she herself is so much a part of this Great Commission in that whilst she disciples the world, she herself is being discipled through that experience itself. It is a Church that understands that the task of the Great Commission is not simply about world evangelisation. She is not a naive Church.
Amen!
