Embody

Everyone who experienced Jesus had the opportunity to change – whether they were healed from a disease, delivered from a demon, called to follow Him, or rebuked and corrected.  With an experience of Jesus always came an opportunity to change.  We see this particularly in the lives of the disciples.  As they journeyed with Jesus, they were called to take up their cross and follow Him – forsaking their old way of living, thinking, feeling, and relating to world for Jesus’s way.  Eleven of them, we know from history and the gospels, came to represent or embody their Master and one of them (Judas) didn’t.

We believe here at Glenfair Church that each of us is called to not only internalize their experience of God but to be changed by it – to be transformed.  This, in its nature, is a confronting process.  Saying, the old you is dead and has to die, and the new you must be put on or stepped into (ref. Ephesians 4:24, Colossians 3:10).  The process of embodying the God that’s meeting us is why we need each.  Each of us stands as a testament to God, a testifier of His goodness, and an expression of His love.  As we journey with one another towards God, we fight for the process each person is in to see God received, represented and expressed.
