Summary: The Church Jesus spoke of and gave birth to was a living people not simply a physical structure. People like Simon Peter, who expereinced the Father revealing Jesus' true identity to him and Jesus continually showing him his true identity in Christ. People like Abraham and Sarah, who were renamed and repurposed, no longer living to usher their wills into the earth, but God's will. People like the Magi (theWise Men), who left their familiar surroundings and pursuits to follow a star leading them to the King of a Kingdom, that is in this world, but not of it. People like us, who are called to be Ambassadors of this Kingdom, finding our permanence, pleasure and purpose in Him and not this world. People like us, who daily give Him full use of our lives to draw others to Himself and into His eternal Kingdom. We are ambassadors. We are the Church.
