Please read these statistics and then contemplate what is stirred up in you.
“Christ met unbelievers where
they were. He realized what many Christians today still don't seem to
understand. Cultivators have to get out in the field. According to one count,
the gospels record 132 contacts that Jesus had with people. Six were in the Temple,
four in the synagogues and 122 were out with the people in the mainstream of
life.” - J.K. Johnston
Our calling as followers of Jesus, is not just to gather in our religious buildings, but to go where the people are. If this was Jesus' modus operandi, then it should also be ours. I think that part of our difficulty, is that we have got used to speaking and acting in our comfortable "church" spaces, but we don't really know how to be authentic Christ-followers in public spaces.
Thought: Jesus was the same person in public, as he was in the Temple or in his home.
Mark 16:15 - "He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."
