“Worship” is a word that churchgoers know and use on a regular basis, yet it means and encompasses far more than how it is generally understood and expressed. We say things like, “we’ll pray after worship,” as if the sum total of worship is the collection of songs being sung to kick off a Sunday morning service.
You were not created for yourself. You were also not created to be by yourself. The purpose behind your existence, along with every other human being in history, is for you to know and be known by both God and others. Relationality forms the very essence of what it means to be created in the image of the Triune God. Indeed, to even truly be is to be in relationship.
In 2004, the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. While the players on the field and management of the team were the central heroes, the narrative around the event was nearly always captured within a narrative about the city itself: its the woes and disappointments, the 86 year drought, and the breaking of the “curse”. Yes, the players were lauded as heroes, but their stories were folded into the ongoing saga of the city itself.
