Here’s a short poem about how to experience ancient Greek ἐκκλησία in the 21st Century:
–Emmanuel’s Ekklesia Experience–
Come together.
Listen to the Spirit,
God with us,
Speak in your heart.
Let those who hear
Share what they heard.
Behold the Lamb of God,
The living Jesus,
Moving among you
Working in and through
Ordinary people
As they show and tell
What God has done.
Whoever has ears to hear,
Let them hear
What the Spirit says
To the ekklesias.
Ekklesia (ἐκκλησία) is the Greek word used in the New Testament that is usually replaced in English language Bibles with the word church. Jesus (Emmanuel) said: “I will build my ἐκκλησία.” Read more about Emmanuel’s (ἐκκλησία) ekklesia experience here).
