“Mr. Russell has shown his best work, in the development of the concept of the Church as a pearl of great price.  Throughout this study there is a development of analogical thought, where the latent imagery of the pearl is made clear for the modern reader.  His content is superior throughout.  He has drawn on a natural science and Biblical thought without violating either.  I have learned a great deal about the concept of a pearl and have appreciated more the concept of the Church as the Pearl of Christ.”  ~ Ronald B. Allen, Senior Professor of Bible Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary

Jesus Was—But, 3

~ Consider His Head, 1 ~

Introduction  ~  Each post in this series looks at an historical event and then follows it up with part of “The Rest of The Story” (as Paul Harvey used to say). 

Jesus Was  ~  “So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.  And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.  Then they said, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’  And they struck Him with their hands” (John 19:1-3).

But There Is More To The Story  ~  “Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me.  And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.  His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire” (Revelation 1:12-14).

Myth, 24

~ Good Leaders Can Generate Church Growth ~

Myth  ~  Scripture teaches that God is the “Lord of the harvest” (Matthew 9:38; Luke 10:2).  Christians are workers in His field.

Reality ~  Christians are responsible for obedience – but are not responsible for the results.  “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?  I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.  So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.  Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor” (1 Corinthians 3:5-8). 

Key Implications  ~  (1) There is no room for pride—even when great things are accomplished.  (2) Spiritual growth is because of a new vision, a new strategy, new goals, the latest book, or new programs.  While these items may sometimes be tools that are helpful, spiritual growth always comes from God primarily through the Word of God and the Spirit of God.  (3) Many church leaders would spend their time more effectively in prayer than in developing new methodologies.
