The Grace of Christ be with you!
Crops that feed us typically grow fast and are harvested. Trees, however, typically grow slowly and, on human time scales at least, can be long lasting. God promises the people that God is about to do a new thing. Yet, do these promises hold the church back or free it to act?
Revolution.
-
Church charts own course.
-
Church takes matters into own hands.
Spiritualization.
-
Church waits for God to act.
-
Church leaves matters in God’s hands.
Transformation.
-
Church is agent of God’s activity on earth.
-
Church seeks to find & create landmarks to follow God’s call through the fogs of life.
A church that is waiting for God’s new thing, is still on the move, albeit slowly, & need landmarks to guide its progress. In Isaiah 64:17-25, the prophet speaks to a people who felt lost. Their hopes of prosperity after their return to the Promised Land had been dashed. The prophet’s vision of the new heaven and earth that God was about to bring, however, was not a call to passively await God’s salvation. Instead, it was a vision that was meant to inspire them to action. And like Israel, the church acts to create a just fellowship as agents of God’s vision and provide landmarks that guide us toward God’s coming kingdom of peace.
Blessings, Will
