Reflection:
The church is God’s big play.
He showcases his wisdom to the world we can see and to the world we cannot see, through the church. And this was no Plan B.
God’s people – the community of Jesus – has always been God’s plan to announce his glory to the seen and unseen realms. That’s an astonishing reality to think about when you next meet with God’s people. Like Israel in the desert, the holy God is living in the midst of his people, yet now able to be approached with a confidence Israel never experienced, because of Christ. Â
How do these truths help you as you meet with God’s people? How important is gathering with God’s church to you?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for your church. Thank you for bringing a people together to worship you and to serve one another. Help us, your people, to display your wisdom to a watching world. Amen.
