After 14 or 15 months of looking at God as, today begins a new ride: The Reign of God as - all new. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as all new is like two women arriving at a tomb expecting to finish a ritual burial with spices and it turns out there is no body to 'spice up'. Instead, their lives receive a bit of spice that sends them off running and full of joy. The Reign of God as all new are those Roman soldiers who probably thought their job at the tomb was a waste of time or a good way to simply rest for a few days - and then - what now!?! That kind of shake-your-head-in-disbelief day is the day in which we find ourselves right now - right now. The Reign of God as all new throws open our lives when we feel entombed or dried out or left to rot or simply forgotten. O God of love and new life, help us anticipate your loving presence calling us out into new relationships and new life. Amen. |
