Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 "18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." I have been reflecting lately on why Jesus started the CHURCH? We go to local churches but if we are on mission with Jesus Christ then we are part of the CHURCH. What did Jesus have in mind when He created the CHURCH?
Did He have in mind the idea that people would come to faith in Christ and then keep it to themselves?
Did He have in mind the idea that Christians would just come to church by themselves and just soak up the teaching and not pass it on?
Did He have in mind that the CHURCH should be program driven?
Did He have in mind that the CHURCH would be there to serve ONLY Christians?
OR did Jesus have in mind the CHURCH would:
Serve the poor?
Change the world one life at a time by sharing our faith and how Jesus has changed our lives?
Take care of the widows and single moms?
Help people through their junk so they can be FREE - Check out John 10:10
What would happen if the church became the CHURCH? I will share with you tomorrow some more on this.
