Chapter eight. His disciples would have laughed at this
December 21, 2016
Last week, in Chapter Six of the book I'm writing, I shared with you the disturbing question that came to me in the late 1980s when I was on staff of a megachurch. It caused me to see that the picture of "church" in my head after many years as a pastor was significantly different from the picture of "church" in Jesus' head. Definitely disturbing!
This week, I'm sharing with you the third insight that came to me as I reread my New Testament in search of an answer. (BTW, I've changed the numbering of the chapters so you aren't really missing chapter seven.) This insight also came from a single verse. I was familiar with this verse but I had never thought about it from the perspective of the people who originally heard Jesus speak these words. That changed everything! In Chapter Eight I'll share this insight with you.
Go here to read Chapter Eight. You will see why Jesus' disciples would have laughed at the way we typically understand this verse.
Then, share your comments at the bottom of the post. I'm counting on you and your comments to help me write this book! By the way, I haven't made a decision about the final title of this book. I'd love to hear your suggestions.
