The Followers of Jesus as holy places. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Followers of Jesus as holy places has a draw. It is much like calling the people of God a light to the world. People move toward such things. The expectation of a holy place is that we might come to such a place and understand or experience the fullness of God that is able to heal all things. That means that we are out in the world as ones who embody the life that is expected to bring about a whole new world. Isn't that what holy places do? Isn't that why folks go to synagogue, temple, church, mosque? We want to be a part of that which is holy - a life. The Followers of Jesus as holy places mimics Jesus in the sense that Jesus becomes for us the complete unveiling of God right in front of us - right in our homes - right in our everyday lives. When a holy place is unhinged from a geographical location and becomes alive and moves within the patterns of ordinary people, a new world will be present. It may not be welcomed - but it will make itself known. O God of love and new life, fill us with your life. Amen. |
