This week: God as fear and great joy. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . God as fear and great joy is when the switch is flipped and a new reality is no longer something about which we might dream - it is that in which we are standing. It is the unbelievable presence of God stepping in our shoes and leading us off into the 8th day of creation. That is the day of resurrection - the day all of us are invited to enter when we are baptized - when we have been grasped by the Spirit of God - when our hearts are pounding with life that was not expected. God as fear and great joy doesn't know the details of what will happen - simply that a vision for what will happen is beginning to take shape and it is overwhelming and full of joy that is beyond what we have ever experienced. God as fear and great joy becomes that leap we take over the edge because we are draw by a vision into that which we cannot see fully at this moment. O God of love and new life, take us over the edge and give a witness to how your love re-creates the day at hand. Amen. |
