We are in on what God is doing, and we are in on it together. And here is how we are in on it: we become present to what God intends to do with and for us through worship, become present to the God who is present with us. There are no experts in the company of Jesus. We are all beginners, necessarily followers, because we don't know where we are going. The way of Jesus requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in the hesitations and questionings, in the pauses and reflections where we engage in prayerful conversation with one another and with him.1 Eugene Peterson, The Jesus Way: A Conversation on the Ways That Jesus is the Way.
