The Church’s Mission Statement

Richard Hays, in his book, “The Moral Vision of the New Testament“, gives a succinct statement that summarizes the mission of the Church:

“[T]he New Testament calls the covenant community of God’s people into participation in the cross of Christ in such a way that the death and resurrection of Jesus becomes a paradigm for their common life as harbingers of God’s new creation.”

I just love it!
