What Does It Take?
Commentary
What does it take to become the church? Where is Jesus to be found in our midst? What rituals are essential for us as Christians and where do they come from?
We break bread, real bread, to symbolize the body of Christ in our presence. We use words on a page to discover the Living Word in our midst. Our symbolic cleansing of baptism is based on the real cleansing we desire in our daily lives.
That about which we may say, “It’s nothing special” is where we draw what is truly special and eternal.
Acts 2:14a, 36-41
