My favorite part of the Extreme Makeover show is the unveiling because when I’m watching the show, I wait the whole hour and sit through all of the tearing down, then watch them scramble to rebuild everything in time before the family comes back from whatever lavish vacation they have been sent on to enjoy. But, what would the show be if we never saw the end result? Would we even watch? No, we would probably lose interest fast. Why? Because there is nothing to inspire us to be better. It’s like the show tears down and builds up, but it never offers the hope. See, this section is the unveiling part, the part where the family is offered the new home, the new place where they can dwell. But, who else is around them- the world? All of their friends, neighbors, and family are watching and enjoying along with them . They participate and all scream aloud those famous words from the crew “ Move that bus!” The gifts and attributes are not just for us to keep for ourselves, but they are for others to enjoy as well. That is how Christians bring forth the Kingdom of God in the here and now.
Tomorrow I am going to talk about three verses that I think best help Christians to " unveil" themselves to each other in the church body.
