I'm too old to be behaving in hesitancy as if it is my first day at school. We are too old to be so childish in our devotion that we hold back so that we may come out looking good. By the empowerment of the resurrected Jesus, we should be well down the road of launching into the deep processes of Kingdom risk.
Yet, we would rather make safety respectable to the point we even jeer at those who move about as Abraham's faith model; going, but not knowing where. Our mockery of these has been galore!
We are afraid.
We are afraid that if we place expectations upon some/us, there will be an exodus. Could it be that we have needed an exodus? Could it be that in pacifying us for fear of what this or that might lead to that we have arrested ourselves and thrown away our own keys?
I want to be a part of the risk-takers; a part of the launchers into zones where we are clueless. This would be where Jesus does his best stuff. Our needy communities await our moves. May we move out of our self-protectionery shells in order to unlatch the hell where so many around us dwell.
Our submission to fear is stopping the show and shutting down Kingdom hope.
