John 1 (The Message)

14The Word became flesh and blood,
      and moved into the neighborhood.

Eugene Peterson puts it interestingly in The Message… We are the church in the world, the flesh and blood in the ‘huurd, equipped and empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the light of Jesus!

Yet, it’s easier said than done.. It’s easy to be buried under the pressures of the corporate world, under the pressures of this human rat race (sorry, oxymoron), under the distractions of worldly desires and ultimately losing sight of our eternal goal. It’s so easy to do that, I must say… I’ve absolutely not tasted and not seen the real world!
