Missions then is less about the transportation of God from one place to
another and more about the identification of a God who is already there. It is
almost as if being a good missionary means having really good eyesight. Or maybe
it means teaching people to use their eyes to see things that have always been
there; they just didn't realize it. You see God where others do not. And then
you point him out.
Perhaps we ought to replace the word missionary with tour
guide, because we cannot show people something we haven't seen.
Have you ever
heard missionaries say they were going to "take Jesus" to a certain place? What
they meant, I assume, was that they had Jesus and they were going to take him to
a place like China or India or Chicago where people apparently didn't have
him.
I would ask them if people in China and India and Chicago are eating and
laughing and enjoying things and generally being held together [Colossians
1.17]. Because if they are, then Jesus, in a way that is diffcult to fully
articulate, is already present there
