Exiles & Witnesses

 
Exiles + Witnesses + Matt Martinez.001.jpeg

“For the natural man is wholly occupied about the things of this world, and he seeks felicity here … but Christ, by the preaching of the gospel … reforms all our earthly affections, and so having striped us out of the vices of our flesh, he separates us from the world.”

- John Calvin

Reflection Questions

  • How does the reality of the resurrection impact what you hope for?

  • The new testament often speaks of the reality of living transformed lives that reflect the age to come in our current age. This can create a tension in ourselves, does this tension impact your identity? How so?

  • What is your gut response to being an exile in this present age? How might God be inviting you to engage as an exile?

  • What are some potential ways you could be a witness of the reality of Gospel in your neighborhood, workplace, family, etc?
