What Jesus Started
Description
Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year
Sometimes we get so caught up in the power of Jesus shouting from the cross, "It is finished!" that we forget that Jesus started something. What Jesus started was a movement that began small, with intimate conversations designed to build disciples into apostles who would go out in the world and seed it with God's kingdom vision. That movement grew rapidly and spread wide as people recognized the truth in it and gave theirlives to the power of it. That movement is still happening today, and we are called to play our part in it.
