Jesus’ point in crossing his cultur

Jesus’ point in crossing his cultural boundaries was far more than identification. He came to transform people and cultures. And while identifying with his culture, he also stood in judgment against it. Pastors must learn the difficult and often controversial art of full identification with their culture without losing their foundational identity in Christ.

The Incarnation means that God takes human cultures seriously. Christ’s church, if it follows the pattern of the Incarnation, will take its culture seriously too. Pastors, as leaders of God’s people, must lead the way by living themselves into the lives of their people. Then the church must live itself deeply into its culture. We must learn how to identity with the people God has sent us to win.

結果 (繁體中文) 1:

耶穌的點在跨越他文化的界限是遠遠超過鑒定。他來變換的人們和文化氛圍。與他的文化認同，他也站在反對它的判斷。牧師必須學會困難並經常引起爭議的充分認同他們的文化藝術，而不會失去他們在基督裡的基本身份。道成肉身意味著神重視人類文化。基督的教會，如果它遵循的模式的化身，會認真對待其文化太。牧師，作為神的子民的領導人必須帶頭住自己到人民的生活。然後教會必須生活本身深入它的文化。我們必須學會如何與人的身份神已經發送到我們能贏。

耶穌在他跨越文化界限的一點是遠遠超過識別。他來改變人們和文化。雖然與他的文化標識，他還站在反對的判斷。牧師必須學會充分認同自己的文化的困難和經常引起爭議的藝術，而不會失去在基督裡的基本身份。道成肉身意味著上帝以人類文化的重視。基督的教會，如果它遵循化身的格局，將它的文化也重視。牧師，上帝的子民的領袖，必須由住自己變成了人民的生命帶路。然後教會本身必須居住深入它的文化。我們必須學會上帝如何與人的身份送我們去取勝。
