“Are We There Yet?”
(June 5, 2011) The disciples want Jesus to tell them when God’s reign will come, and we are not so different. We all wish we could know when things will be as they should be, whatever that looks like. When kids ask their parents about how long a car trip will take, sometimes we give them busy work to keep them quiet. Jesus does much more; he gives his disciples a task as co-pilots: to help make new disciples. Let’s not render this busy work by making it about numbers, when it is really about the journey! (Acts 1:1-11)
We Your People, Ours the Journey
