I'm bored, not with Christ, but with His Church. It is the high calling of New Testament discipleship that challenges me to move forward beyond the canned sermons, the endless cliches, the chain emails, and the total and complete commercialization of all things Christian.
Oswald Chambers asks the question, "Are we willing to be broken bread and poured out wine in Jesus Christ's hands for others?" Are we willing to become a sacrament, the means by which others partake of Christ's life? Are we willing to become the living sacrifice Paul speaks of in Romans 12? It's a difficult thing to be broken for others, to be poured out for others, and yet this is the model Jesus sets for us who dare call ourselves by His holy name - Christian, 'little Christ'.
You know, you've got to do something to be a little Christ. I am reminded of this truth, "You will only become what you are becoming right now?" Are you right now becoming broken bread and poured out wine? If not, what are you right now becoming?
