Chapter 1: The Master Plan of Evangelism
"Is it not rather disappointing that one with all the powers of the universe at his command would live & die to save the world, yet in the end have only a few ragged disciples to show for his labor?"
It's amazing to think Jesus had so little to show for his labors; yet that's if you're qualifying his fruit on the quantity & not the quality of his students. This thought has been interesting to me, since in many ways our popular church culture measures the exact opposite.
"Really it is a question of which generation we are living for."
This is a great question. What generation are we living for? Jesus could have had masses. Jesus could have been made King. Jesus could have had it all in His day: publicity, stature, popularity, etc. He chose anonymity & invested to reap His rewards in the future & not in the present. Once again this goes against popular church culture where we attempt to attract the masses in order to create a church.
