[Sunday] Abraham Called Ephesians Ch 1
Father Abraham was called to look up at the stars and see countless descendants. Believing this calling, he moved forward in sinfulness as he tried to throw it all away. Even when we fail in our callings, God is still faithful to that original promise of Abraham, bringing unity to people.
What Had happened at Grace this week.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
As we enter holy week Matthew wants us to see something so clear. We all have abandoned Jesus.
Who would you allow at your table for dinner? Jesus is always accused of having the wrong people at his table. But if his table is big enough for Judas and Peter, then it is big enough for me.
The Magi visiting the Holy Family is absurd. A Roman Governor's wife defending Jesus? Absurd. Most absurd? Jesus taking our cries of "Crucify!" to save us all. Matthew Chapter 27
Beyond the tomb's despair, its emptiness unveils the way cleared for our return home. Matthew Chapter 28
