Engage the Culture as a Joyful Outsider |
Every Christian today feels like an outsider in their own culture, and most don’t like it. To resolve that tension, they are tempted to conform to the culture, combat the culture, or cloister themselves from it. But what if we aren’t supposed to resolve the tension but live in it? What if Jesus wants us to be joyful outsiders and engage the culture?
Most Christians assume they feel like outsiders because the culture is rapidly changing. It feels like overnight the culture went from “Christian” to “post-Christian” to “anti-Christian”. But this reasoning ignores an important truth: Christians have always been outsiders. We worship a king who was an outsider! The author of Hebrews wrote, “So Jesus also suffered outside the gate to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore, let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.”
You’re called to be an outsider because you’re called to be like Jesus. |
