Cross

Chapter 10 - Cross

22/06/15 19:51 Filed in: Cross

In chapter 9, we found ourselves with a group gathered in a house church, 200 years from the events of the Old Testament. Now in chapter 10, we find ourselves asking why would these people even serve a Christ who died on a Roman cross, the worst kind of shame there was? They are risking it all for love. A love that is worth living, and maybe even dying for. They got their example from Jesus, who was not a king who came riding in as a conquerer on a war horse, but weeping on a donkey. His kingdom was not established by violent coercion, but through love. Jesus was a king who served people.

Watershed Community is going through Sean Gladding's book The Story of God, the Story of Us. We read a chapter each week and pull out some questions from the book to facilitate discussion. Start at the beginning or read the current entry.

The Story of God, the Story of Us.

Sean Gladding takes us between the lines of Scripture to listen in on the conversation of people wrestling with the Story we have received. Sitting around a campfire in Babylon, reclining at table in Asia Minor, huddled together by candlelight in Rome, we meet people encountering the Story for the first and for the hundred-and-first time. With them we hear a tale that is at once both familiar and surprising.
