world impact
how does one impact the world? i think we do it one person at a time, starting with ouselves. if jesus made an impact on us, then we are changed and we can share that impact with others.
in john's experience with jesus, john writes [17:9-19] that jesus wants us to make that world impact - to "change things" one person at a time. the message of jesus is not designed to change goverments or companies, but it is designed to change people - at a core, at a center - and then for us to impact other people. it is only be impacting a person that the world will change.

And yet we look forward to the point in which the kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our God and his Messiah. Even though we respond individually, we live out the gospel communally, in families, neighbourhoods, rural and urban communities, as citizens of many nations.
