Redeemer Devotions for September 12, 2013

Adventures... in Hope - Redeemer Devotions 

This week: God as resurrection full. If you have any comments  - adebelak@redeemerluth.com.

 

The day is resurrection full. That is a promise. Death may have its ways here and there. Death may even be able to persuade us not to live to the fullest. And yet, the day is resurrection full - the day is creation coming to life in new ways. God as resurrection full gives no room for other voices. Those other voices let death and its powers shape how we move through the day. Therefore, God is resurrection full - no room for anything else. So we are invited into the fullness of that life. It is really a life that blows over us and into us so that the fullness of God's resurrection life will become our very breath. God as resurrection full is not threaten by all the things we often let take hold of us and move us and control us. We are made full of whatever is possible next. One person noted that God does impossible things with impossible people. People taken up by the power of resurrection are empowered to enter the impossible and live even there - full alive - fully resurrected.

 

O God of love and new life, take us and use, O God. Amen.
