This post got well and truely spammed somehow and i lost it!! very weird!
I think this is the quote that i had here:
Jesus called people to follow him, to become disciples. The early disciples, in line with their Jewish heritage, understood that Jesus was not founding a new religion, but a new way of living and of being God’s people, God’s representative missional image on the earth. In Grenz’s words: “The locus of the divine image in the new Testament is the community of Christ who together comprise the foretaste of the new humanity in Christ”. Their concern was not a worry about a personal post-mortem destination, but being part of God’s climatic redemptive new-creation action.
All mission must hold this ‘new creation dream’ as its central tenant in order for it to be caught up in God’s mission. The ultimate goal of mission is peoples on the earth living out the reality of what it means to true humanity, living out the reality of communion with God, community with each other and entering into co-creativity with God. This action will be brought to a wonderful completion on the Messiah’s return, the New Creation work, started in the incarnation and continued by the work of the Spirit who has caught up the people of God in it, will bring about a final transformation of God’s people and of the whole of the cosmos.
