Today's lesson addresses
theorigin of God's people. An
affirmation often repeated in
the Christian community is,
"The Church is the people
and not the building." It is
comet that die Church is the
people, and this points to its
essentially human character.
However, it must go beyond
this because the Church is not
'just "people." It is a certain
kind of people; a special
people. The Church is b
"appropriately identified. *s
the -people of God." TMs
suggests i depth sad signifi
cance that differentiate them
'from people in general.
A brief look at the origin oi
God's people will clarify this.
TMs means going back to the
time of Abraham. The begin
ning of the people of God
originated with God's call to
Abraham. God said to him,
"Go from your country and
your kindred and your fath- 1
er's house to the land that 1
wiD show you. And I will bless i
you, and make your name <
great, so that you will be a i
blessing." (Genesis 12:1-2) i
God established a covenant
with Abraham which continu- i
ed through Isaac, Jacob, and <
the sons of Jacob. Abraljam's i

Israel. TUs is found in the
focal verse far today: "1 am
the Lord, and I will deliver
you from their bondage, and i
wiy redeem you with an
outstretched arm and with
great acts of judgment, and I
wffl take you for my people,
and I wll be your God.''
(Exodus 6:61) The Exodus
becomes central in the crea
tion of the "people of God."
' Unfortunately. Israel failed
to remain faithful to the
covenant relationship. A cas
ual reading of die Old Testa
ment prophets will verify this.
Israel s history is a story of
repeated failures, betrayals,
backsiidings and loss of faith.
Israel failed primarily: be
cause they misunderstood
God's reason for calling them
in the First place. They were
called to be a special people.
Above all, they were called for
s specific responsibility. Isra
el was set apart to be the
instrument of God's redemp
WttfW tO RlftkA the of ftvl
The idea of privilege is not
absent ia God's calling of
Israel, however, this Idea is
secondary. Their call involves
primarily owe of service. This
is stated ia Exodus 19:5-6a,
"Now therefore, if yaw will
obey my voice and keep my
covenant, you shall be my
own possession among all
peoples; for all the earth is
mine, and you shall be to me s
kingdom of priests and a holy
nation." As a "kingdom of
priests" Israel was to serve as
channel whereby all people
would be redeemed.
Due to Israel's unfaithful
ness God sought a remnant, a
few that would remain faithful
to His covenant (Isa. 10:20-23;
Jeremiah 31:31-34). Even the
remnant became unfaithful
leaving a remnant of the
remnant. According to Chris
tian interpretation this rem
nant narrowed down to a
single representative- Jesus
of Nazareth. Jesus alone
temsined^nie^o Israel
j^TTdadh. AB that God
teaehfe ^ThJtow'to^
?nut us which God intended
for Israel, tod it vu through
him that God's love would .
truly bo revealed.
This is where the Christian
Church (the people of God)
eomes into the picture. As
followers of Christ, we are to
coot in ue his ministry in the
world today. The true identity
of the Church is realized when
God's people are actively
engaged in making His love
known to a lost world. The
Church is more than just
people. It is a very important
people, on a very important
mission.
