This week: God as the first day of the week. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as the first day of the week means it is safe to begin again. The baggage from yesterday can be left behind and the new life of God's unbounded welcome is now at hand - and that is all that there is. God as the first day of the week does not settle for the many ways we attempt to rule the day and act as though we are the ones who hold the knowledge of good and evil. God as the first day of the week is the sound of the Alpha and the Omega. In other words, there is no other sound. Graciousness is the day. Forgiveness is present even when we attempt to bring in the 'stuff' that so often is killing us. God as the first day of the week sets the stage for the healing of all things. We are healed and we become a part of God's healing presence. The new creation really is at hand through this God who is present when the tomb went empty and has never been able to be the end of the story. O God of love and new life, we are able to enter into life more robustly as we come to see that you already are the creator of the first day of the week and you graciously welcome us into the life of the day. Amen. |
