It is this confrontation with our own demise that has the power to jar us into dealing with the other great problem of our lived experience: namely sin and its consequences.
Sermons by The Rev. Michael Cannon (Page 2)
This event symbolizes how healing that is done in and through Christ moves us into service in the kingdom of God.
We need to also know that the movement of love that we recognize as Holy Spirit is happening all the time.
We are unwise…..to be held captive by speculation. Our visions of a new creation, eternal life, and the communion of saints ought to set us free from that.
The deep truth of Isaiah’s feast is that death itself is on the menu; it too is swallowed up.
God unconditionally accepts us, and we ought to be honest with him.
What began as overwhelming need and insufficient resources has become more than enough for everyone.
Good shepherds needed. Hard work for low pay.
Thanks be to God that the Gospel meets us in the waiting room and carries us beyond.
As the Good Shepherd, he is the focus of all our movement, leading the sheep from pasture to pasture, but we must consent to follow.
