Sunday is not Tame, but it is Good

John Piper says that:
"The local church is a visible expression of the invisible, universal, body of Christ."

That puts a pretty high value on the local church. Think this thru! If I told you that you could actually see Jesus, if you came with me to a certain place at a certain time, would you? Assuming that you believed me, of course you would. Well, I am telling you that on Sunday morning, if your church is an authentic Bible teaching, Gospel-centered church, then you can see a visible expression of Christ, much like the pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire at night.

If that is true, and you need to personally wrestle with veracity of that statement, then would you not value church attendance in light of that? Here's what I mean. If the above statement is true, then I am not attending church to be seen, or meet an obligation, or even to be fed or serve (although the latter are valid purposes). But I am part of the body of Christ. I want to be there!

And if that is true, when he arrives, I want to be there. What will he do? I don't know, but I want to see it!

Because he is not tame, but he is Good.
