This week: God as salvation at hand. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com. God as salvation is not looking for people to stand up and serve as the gatekeepers who know who is able to be a part of God's saving life. God as salvation is an announcement. That is what makes the Good News really good. God as salvation is handing us a life by embracing us with a love that is the power to make life joy-filled and a reflection of the same graciousness of this God as salvation. When we are tempted to set up our demands as to who can be within the saving community of saints, we all of the sudden reject this God who is out to save - heal - restore - renew. God as salvation has already acted and only acts as God has acted previously - for us. The 'coming of the Lord' is part of the coming - in the flesh - of God's will into and through the lives of God's people. This coming among us is God's doing and this coming has a history of shaking up all the many ways religious people think they have the final and defining word about what God wants. God as salvation is the one who opens our eyes to the possible power of God's love that has no limit or boundary. O God of love and new life, take us on a trip through your Reign as it breaks in upon us in this day. Amen. |
