Participatio Christi

C. S. Lewis said, "...the Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If the Church is not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose."

I think that is exactly what the Church is supposed to do. We should identify with Jesus, act like Jesus, be like Jesus and help others do the same. God has called us to be imitators of Christ. This means that we must do more than follow Him in our heart and talk about Him at our church. To imitate Christ means we must act Him out in the world.

Participatio Christi-Latin for "participating in the life and mission of Jesus." We are to be a community within the community and add value, bring wisdom, peace and grace to the community in which we live. Is this not the definition of loving people ... is this not God's will for the Church today?

Thanks for stopping by!
