What would make worship work?
Saturday March 21st, John 2: 20 The leaders replied, "It took forty-six years to build this temple. What makes you think you can rebuild it in three days?" 21 But Jesus was talking about his body as a temple. 22 And when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered what he had told them. Then they believed the Scriptures and the words of Jesus. Actually, Jesus was talking about the whole structure of religious activity for all of humanity. Things were changing, the temple was no longer the center, and the church is no longer the center, it is Christ. Later when the talk of the resurrection was in the air, they remembered. Have you ever had one of those Ah Ha! Moments? The world was out of balance, things just don’t seem what they should be, and then Jesus sets things running smooth again. Not even the disciples saw it coming. How could your world improve by centering it on Jesus? How would your church change by centering it on Jesus? What if you just threw out the whole worship service this weekend and started the service with the question: what would make today’s worship experience meaningful for you to experience the love and forgiveness of Christ?
