This week: God as salvation at hand. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as salvation puts an end to any notion that we - in some way - are able to gain our salvation. God as salvation is the one who acts - without our conditions - without out approval - without our limits. This God as salvation is the power of God to simply make things new. It is the vision of the Prophet Isaiah spelling out that the mountains will be brought low and the valleys filled and the crooked roads straight. In other words, God places us on a flat ground where we are never to fear what might 'get us' - look around God as salvation is for all and nothing else can be thrown in our paths. God as salvation opens wide our field of vision so that our vision will be as gracefully wide as Gods. All that we see are welcome home - all that we see are the beloved. This is even the case if we are able to come up with a good case against others. God as salvation throws our cases against others and ourselves and makes room for us. This allows us to live as though God's saving power is shaping the day and we can go ahead and live and dance there. O God of love and new life, be with us as we dance and live within your promise of life. Amen. |
