Where's Waldo?

You've heard of "Where's Waldo?" right? Well, this image is called "Where's The Church?"

Can you see it? If you squint your eyes just right and rotate the image it's easier. Can you see the steeple? How 'bout that small cross on the side wall? The open doors with the pews inside?
Still can't see it?

Well, that's because it isn't there. Furthermore, that's not a church. It may be a building where a local church gathers for some purpose or other, but it is not a church. A church may do some type of ministry in a building like that but it is not a church. Repentance, salvation, the person and work of Christ may be preached in a building like that but it is not a church.

The reason it is not a church is because they are the church. Church is not an it, it's a who. That's right. It turns out that the best place to hide is in plain sight.... Where's the church?

You're looking at it.
