This week: God as death defying. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. In the face of death, God as death defying is a light that lets us see that what death has too offer is nothing in comparison to the life that God brings to light as we enter this day. We are always going to be pressured by the power of death - it will try to shame us - it will try to lean us into the way of hatred and fear - it will attempt to move us against others - it will whisper in our ears that we must be in control. God as death defying simply sits in the room an holds up a light that enlightens the rest of the room. God's Reign is full of life and death keeps trying to make us focus on the pile of dung in the corner of the room. God as death defying flushes the toilet so that the sweetness of life for and with others can be unveiled and make us boldly alive and ready to face how God's Reign will become the way we move through the day. God as death defying hands us a whole new world of life - life eternal - that we are invited to enter freely. O God of love and new life, fill this day with your light that we may see more and more of the fullness of your Reigning power. Amen. |
