The Reign of God as on the road again. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as on the road again brings to mind the journey and action of the Samaritan whose compassion overturned conventional wisdom about touch and help and sacrifice for the well being of others. There is also the road on which two people were walking as they talked about all the events that had taken place in and around Jerusalem and the death of Jesus - who they hoped was the Messiah. On that road came wonder - thrilling tales - renewed vision - hopefulness that has the power to set them back on the road again. The Reign of God as on the road again takes us alongside a eunuch who is wondering about the strange images of the great prophet Isaiah and as he hears an explanation of God's mighty deeds that are always transforming our humanity into the image of God - as the prophet imagined - he enters into a new life. O God of love and new life, be with us on the road today. We do not know where it will lead and yet we know that we will find a fullness of life unfolding before us. Move with us and walk with us and empower us to be the life of this Reign you have fashioned for the whole world. Amen. |
