In chapter 1 of John’s gospel, Jesus is described as ‘the Word [who] became flesh and dwelt among us’. In chapter 2, John goes on to describe Jesus as being baptized and he saw ‘the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.’
This picture of God’s Word and Spirit magnificently demonstrates God’s design for his church, the very body of Christ, to be a people who live out the truth of his Word in the power of his Spirit.
From the very moment of creation onward, we see the wisdom of God revealed and relevant to every part of life. The Great Commission is universally inclusive – All authority, all the world, all nations, all creation, all I have commanded, with you always.
God has purposed that his truth would flood every part of society and every part of our hearts, with it’s redemptive and creative glory, bringing about the life-giving character of Jesus. This applies to our families, workplaces, schools, hospitals, law courts, governments and indeed to the very motivations of our hearts.
God has consistently worked from one generation to the next, and has promised to be with us, even to the end of the age. Jesus epically modeled this as he passed on his commission to his disciples before ascending to heaven, and then filling them with His Spirit in the upper room at Pentecost.
Jesus was in his early 30’s at this point, commissioning his disciples who were most likely in their teens and 20’s.
With the demographics of Africa, Asia and other continents tending to average population ages of below 20 years, this becomes ever more relevant.
