What Would Jesus Deconstruct?
The early church is a lot like the characters in the hit TV series Lost - the title is appropriate! - waiting to be "saved," which is the soteriological significance of that show where everyone is given a new being, a fresh start. At first, the survivors hang around on the beach waiting to get "picked up" (in a cloud, St. Paul said). After a while, they conclude that the rescue is not going to happen anytime soon and so they reluctantly decide to dig in and prepare for the long haul. Hence the existence of the church is provisional - like a long-term substitute teacher - praying for the kingdom, whose coming Jesus announced and which everyone was expecting would come sometime soon.
