N.T. Wright and The Challenge of Jesus

       A significant part of the vision of The Isaac-Ishmael Initiative which I am launching is about being God's image bearers. And this is also our vocation, as N.T. Wright says. This has "crazy" consequences, such as Jews and Muslims coming together in and through Jesus to worship Him and to love each other. Crazy, I know.
       My inspiration is from Wright's book, The Challenge of Jesus. Check out this quote.

"The key is that humans are made in the image of God.

That is the equivalent, on the wider canvas, of Israel's unique position and vocation.

And bearing God's image is not just a fact, it is a vocation.

It means being called to reflect into the world

the creative and redemptive love of God.

It means being made for relationship,

for stewardship, for worship -

or, to put it more vividly, for sex, gardening and God."
