One of the most powerful narratives on earth right now is the commodification of beings. In short, looking to people as a means of transaction. How can they benefit me? What can they do for me?
This is antagonistic to the Gospel, to the community of Believers. At times, this form of thinking can even begin to manipulate the way we engage the LORD.
In the days we are living, and in the days ahead, we as Believers will have to restore the I-Thou relationship more than ever. You are not an object. God is not an object. We were designed for fellowship. Relationship with God AND relationship with each other. The Church will not be able to continue by being a country club, a self-help center nor a music venue. The Church will have to be the embodiment of the Spirt of Messiah on earth. The Church will be made manifest through the purposeful engagement with one another in our daily lives. Anything else is a commodity; anything else is an I-It relationship of objects.
“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:8
