Paul draws us to the main point of his reaching out to others, “We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me (Col 1:28-29)”. His desire was that Christ be formed in those who believe (Galatians 4:19), with eyes set on the multitudes he wanted to do it a soul at a time. We have to be able to attribute the change in the people we disciple from their growth in the image of Christ in them. But even though each is called to the work in their own unique way and no two disciples are ever the same yet they all have a part in the wider body of Christ. Every human seems to have their own tailored conception of who God is, often, this is a projection of the God we wish existed; as someone has put it “creating a God in our own image.” For some He is white, for some He is colored, for some He is black, for some He is vengeful, for some he can hardly harm a fly, for some He is mean, for some very generous etc. what if we just took God just as He is as he reveals himself to us through creation, history, scripture, circumstances and most fully in Christ Jesus.
