Helpful perspective. I would also add that according to Acts, it’s not primarily an individual’s life orientation, but that of communities of believers, who live these aspects of their lives together, centered around gathering together weekly to eat the Lord’s meal and celebrate together the new and living way they have become part of.
Absolutely agree with you. Great point. I've written pretty extensively on that in other essays but was focusing on the work of mainly individual relationships in this one. In our little book, Presence Based Witness, we look more at Luke 10 and the communal aspect is in there as well. Jesus sending them out with others. This dynamic provides a multidimensional aspect to our witness. It's not just what we proclaim but also how we inter-relate that brings good news.
