Just a Thought Out Loud...
Like when Adam chose to replace relationship with God by embracing the rule...
And breaking it.
Like when the Hebrews saw God in their midst and became frightened and then placed Moses between God and themselves...
Like when God declared to be King of Israel, and the people chose Saul...
Like when Jesus came triumphantly into Jerusalem... On the exact day predicted the Messiah would come by the Prophet Daniel... And was rejected as King...
Like when the Nicolatians placed Clergy between the laity...
Like when the congregation places the Pastor between themselves and God...
Just maybe... Just maybe... This is the generation that embraces Jesus as God, King, High Priest, Chief Sheppard (pastor)... Just maybe we look to Jesus as the Chosen One to save us... And choose not to have an earthly "leader"...
Maybe, just maybe that is why the "emerging church" has no "top leader"...
Because maybe, we have chosen Jesus to be that in our lives and in our churches... We have chosen to live in His Kingdom and look at all others as choosing the lesser... We have chosen love over hate, unity over division...
Just maybe...
blessings,
iggy
