Young people being and bringing Christ wherever we are.
That is the vision of CFC-Youth, and more often that not, I get hung up on the being Christ aspect of the vision. Giving talks, leading worships, journeying with the youth somehow displaces my sense of placement in the universe. Oh how many times has it crossed my mind that the results of all the activities in CFC-Youth in my area are brought about by me – my vision and my strength. Only to be humbled by the Lord in an awesome proportion reminding me that I am but a messenger – not the message. That my weakness, sinfulness, fears, faults – all of them – far outweigh what I can bring to the mission.
The game changer in fact is His grace. The grace that is experienced, transforms and is proclaimed. The message is Jesus Christ, not Kevin. The message is love made flesh, love on the cross, love that is raised up in victory from death. A love that triumphs over all doubt, all failures, and all sin.
I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. – Philippians 4:13
