“Go & Make” vs. “Build it & they will come”
Great Comission vs. Field of Dreams. Sort of.
A great read on Disabled Christianity, both in terms of reaching & serving those with disabilities, as well as, for that matter, anyone.
“The passage states, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…” …It doesn’t say, “Sit here and wait in Galilee and people will come.” It says go to the nations.
I am confident that relates to persons with disabilities as they are just members of the nations. We should go to them as we would go to any other member of the nations and invite them in. Jesus’ command is “Go” not “Build it and they will come” or “We will serve them if they come to us.”
There is a big difference between going and sitting and waiting.”
