The Failures of Christianity

John 9

4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

The above words of Jesus Christ are ones that generally go unanalyzed by most who claim to be His followers. And in fact, over the last 2,000 years, there has been no way for anyone to come to a true understanding of what He was saying here. This is because the words themselves were actually pointing toward those 2,000 years of the Christian Church Age; an age in which His divided and ever-dividing Church (the "Body of Christ") has been entombed in darkness, failing to transform the entire world due to its discord and lack of agreement.

John 17

22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

The Church must now come to a collective awakening, a resurrection, and realize that its lack of unity (as well as its scandals and hypocricies) have actually butchered and mutilated the true image of Christ, making Him unrecognizable to those who may have otherwise been drawn to Him.

Isaiah 52

(his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men)

Christianity must come to the realization that this verse has a higher application than only historically; that is, the Body of Christ must now awaken to the fact that the physical afflictions heaped upon Christ were merely a living foreshadow of what would happen to His true image through the imperfections of His Church Body.

Now is the time for Christianity to repent of its failures to uphold His image and present the true Kingdom of God to the world.
