“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you to go and bear fruit…” John 15:16
The “you” chosen and
appointed to go in John 15:16 is plural (i.e. “all of you” or “community” - not individual religious
rock stars). Of course I like the idea of missional community, of
being part of the God’s kingdom as it emerges in new places. But I am not yet
comfortable being missional, because the kingdom often appears in places I
would rather not go. I eventually witness things I would rather not see. It is
a difficult path to follow and not one I would readily choose.
