Jesus is the subject.
Not just a tagline, these four words speak to our purpose and plan. Only when Jesus is the subject—not the church, not the building, not the music, not the name over the church doors—can God’s people work together, without division and distraction, to bring the kingdom to life on earth as it is in heaven.
IF JESUS IS THE SUBJECT
WHO ARE WE?
As Jesus is the subject, we are called by his hand and Spirit to be verbs, action words in real life, real time.”
—JIM LYON, Church of God Ministries general director
Jesus applauded those who stepped out of the boat, climbed down out of the tree, and got off their donkeys to proclaim good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, declare freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners, and announce the year of the Lord’s favor.
Not everyone was so sure. They said, “Jesus, tell us who are you?” He said, “I’ve already told you who I am but you don’t believe me. The works I do prove who I am.” Words must be proved true by action! We were created to take action, to do good to everyone (Ephesians 2:10). Since our calling is to do what Jesus did, a brief look at why Jesus came and what he came to do offers a prescription for the Church of God.
