Christians face a staggering challenge today. We must be the hands of Christ in this world. Christianity must become something real, tangible, something that pervades all that we are. It must become something we do.
Not that this is a new challenge, it is as old as the Bible itself. But in our culture, for Christianity to have any meaningful future, we must get serious about a genuine, flesh and blood lifestyle that is holy without being elitist, engaged with the world without becoming jaded by it, active and busy in the world yet prepared to cope with failure.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ is to look out on a hurting world.
