Been enjoying the excellent 'A Meal With Jesus' by Tim Chester and could identify with this quote, as I am sure could anyone pursuing Christian community...
"This
is my experience: the Christian
community often wears me out, winds me up and drives me crazy. But I also have moments when I look at my
brothers and sisters and know the presence of the risen Christ. It’s not that my community is anything special. Yet there are moments when I see Christ
incognito among the ragtag people sitting in my front room - and then it seems
he’s gone again. You see it in our
diversity - a diversity that has no explanation except the work of God. You see it when people’s hearts burn as God’s
Word is interpreted. You see it in the
love people show to one another."
