I'm often asked why our church gatherings aren't more like what we read in 1 Cor. 14. The way our worship services breed spectatorism reminds me of the story of Zacchaeus.
He wanted to be a spectator but not a participant. He wanted to be a fan of Jesus but not a follower. There are plenty of such people in our churches today. They come to the gathering to look, to observe, to spectate but would never dream of doing anything themselves. They are content to stay up the tree for the rest of their days.
Blessed is the person who comes down from the tree and serves Christ joyfully.
