God as journey. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com [mailto:adebelak@redeemerluth.com]It is the beginning of Holy Week. It is the beginning of an intense look at the
shape of non-violence. Throughout the week we will see God-in-the-flesh walk within
the way of truthfulness that manifests itself as non-violence. This God as journey
is moving - always moving - never contained and set up on the altar or on a book
shelf or in a religious place of honor. God as journey is the unfolding of the
wideness of a love that will flow into and through all things. No evil can shut
it out. God will travel into it and abide within its demonic power. No untruth can
preside. God will keep opening the door and the light of the truth of God Reigning
love will continue to reveal what untruth tries to hide. No fear will be able to
clear the room and build a castle of hate and intolerance. God will step into the
room and walk around the room and show that there is nothing to fear when the love
of God walks among us. God as journey is Jesus in the Temple engaged in all that
straight talk that is like a light that exposes the fears that too often rule even
the places we have come to call holy. God as journey is the life that continues
to reveal itself in new ways even when we think we have a handle on the 'way.' Therefore,
the journey is the life - a life that never ends and is never controlled.
O God of love and new life, walk with us and guide us and lead us into the realm
of your love that is the power to rest within the way of your gracious and forgiving
Reign that is the day at hand. Amen.
