This week: God as resurrection full. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. The resurrection reveal the power and reality of the living God. Death is has no power. God as resurrection full is the way we begin to imagine what is to come. By that, I do not want our heads to go off into the future beyond death. Let's begin with now - what is to come - now, and also forevermore. God as resurrection full has one shory line - life. This life is not one that we must live as though death is the master of the day. We live as though resurrection in all of its fullness is at hand. More and more I wonder if Jesus stepped into those crowded synagogues and into the homes of outsiders with the full expectation that the day is resurrection full. God as resurrection full notices the power of death attempting to do its duty as it always has but the response to such power is to act as though it is not the power of the day. God as resurrection full leaves no room for the many faces of death and all of the tools that all of us know how to use so well when we are a part of death's domain. O God of love and new life, fill us up again with the life you scatter freely throughout time and space. Amen. |
