New Things!

The Servant of God goes about the work of the kingdom in a manner that is by no means familiar to us in our culture. In fact, it would be easy to consider the Servant's strategy to be profoundly flawed and all but hopeless (in worldly terms). But the Servant is not crushed. The Servant does the work of the kingdom because the kingdom is through and through the Servant - not as a part of the Servant but as integral to the Servant. And then there is the matter of 'New things'... Interesting idea for a church that has made it its business to be one of the most conservatising forces in our community today. New things? No thanks... we're happy with the old wine most of the time (yuk!).
