We are all aware of God’s "amazing grace." In recent days we have sung of God’s "amazing love." I want us to consider the fact that God has called us to be "amazing Christians." Listen to A. W. Tozer: "God fully expects the Church of Jesus Christ to prove itself a miraculous group in the very midst of a hostile world. Christians of necessity must be in contact with the world, but in spirit ought to be separated from the world, and as such, we should be the most amazing people in the world."

I find his words that Christians should be the most amazing people in the world fascinating. As Christians, an amazing thing has happened to us. We have experienced a new birth that made us a new creature in Christ Jesus. We have experienced the amazing grace of God. This amazing encounter with God should result in nothing less than our being amazing people.

I’m sure you would agree that we often don’t act or feel so amazing. When we live a Christian life that is less than amazing, our churches reflect that condition. Our Church is merely a reflection of its members. The Church is not a building, but a body. The building is nothing more than a facility in which the Church assembles. You and I, the members, are the Church. The Church is not a place. It is people. Amazing Christians produce Amazing Churches. Are you living an amazing life?
