Church should be an ER (Emergency Room)

Jesus Christ is in the business of restoring broken people. When He takes a broken thing into His hands, it begins to work again. That’s so of an individual. It’s so of a relationship. It’s so of a church.

Obviously this does not mean instant, complete change right now, in the twinkling of an eye. It’s a lifelong process—until the day when we see Jesus. Then He will wrap it all up in a twinkling (1 John 3:1-3; Rev. 20-21).

It’s less obvious that we don’t become as good as new. We don’t go back to just the way things were before. Instead, we are qualitatively changed in this process of repair. We are not ‘restored’, brought back to a previous condition, but we are ‘redeemed’, turned into something new, something better and different than we ever were.

I am a wounded helper, I have been there and I got help, I worked hard for and received a great education. With my education my purpose changed! The truth is - YOU MATTER!! The breaking and remaking leave marks on us—just as scars remain on Jesus’ hands, just as Jesus never loses fundamental sympathy for the human plight with all its weakness. We come out different in the process. We are marked—and so become able to comfort others whatever their troubles, as we have been comforted in our troubles. Your sins and sufferings leave their mark forever. For example, your entire experience of forgiveness and mercy from Jesus arises only in the context of your dire need because of your own evil. And it is always painful to learn to give forgiveness to another. Mercy to others arises only in the context of being sinned against. So the very best gifts of God arise against the backdrop of your darkest need. First and foremost, I am qualified as a listener, as a mentor as a goal planner.
