The Example of Jesus
But we do see that Jesus did concern Himself with corporate entities as well as with personal ones. To begin, He ministered to His people group as a culture with a particular history. He wept over Israel’s sins and wounds. He identified with them. He was absolutely rooted in their story, as the elaborate genealogy introducing Him in Matthew 1 reveals. Indeed, He was totally engaged with individuals, both with their immediate personal needs and with their eternal salvation, but He also dealt in terms of corporate, national issues. The most striking example of Jesus’ dealing with a corporate entity among His people is found in Matthew 23:29–32
