CHURCH - Week 5, day 1
The Greek word for church means "the called out ones." So in case we are tempted to see church as a place to go, we are reminded that the church is a community called out by God for the benefit of the world.
This calling out began with the Isrealites whose father is Abraham. Check out what God said to Abraham:
"Look up at the heavens and count the stars - if you can count them....so shall your offspring be." Genesis 15:5
Although I am not of Jewish decent, I am an offspring of Abraham...adopted into God's family because of Jesus. I am one of those many stars that Abraham was gazing at. How great is that?
