We (the Cornerstone Missional Community in Orange) have really enjoyed the Challenge of Jesus; an "immersive experience" of 4 Shabbats (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) focusing on the life of Jesus. In reflecting on them, especially no. 4, I am currently stating my overall attitude or direction while involved in the challenge of Jesus, as something like this:
- trying "not to tell people" (other than the herald's announcement, unless it is a story), so much, as trying to maximize participants' experience of personal discovery.
(the herald's announcement:
The ancient prophecies of the
Maker of this Universe ruling it, well,
through Humanity, are in process of being fulfilled.
Jesus of Nazareth, has been picked and christened as the first full expression,
the highest pinnacle, and now the accessing agent of that rule!
If you are on his side, drop your own
methods and your own agendas,
use your hands and head like his.
... There are repercussions to
your actions, or inactions.)
- flexibility and responsiveness firstly to the spirit of God, and secondly to the actual people sent to us by God; their present aims, hopes, moods, capacities, and life situations).
