La historia de Nicodemo que escuchamos el día de hoy en el Evangelio de san Juan está llena de muchos contrastes entre Nicodemo y Jesús. Primero, Nicodemo provenía de una familia poderosa, era un hombre rico; Jesús no, de hecho él decía: “Bienaventurados los pobres porque de ellos es el reino de los Cielos…”. Segundo,…
We live in an age of conflict. It was probably always so, but we hear about things instantly nowadays and even find ourselves watching the most dreadful scenes while we blissfully consume a frozen dinner. Our nation seems locked in battle between contending parties and groups, and division and tension have wracked even our church….
Family. We all come from one. Some are loving, some are quirky, some are dysfunctional, some are abusive, and some are a combination of those things. No matter what type of family we have, we have a role to play within it: the Peacemaker, the Pretty One, the Black Sheep, the Smart One, the Religious…
James Hewett writes, “God did not save us to be a sensation. God saved us to be servants.” Today’s gospel reading provides a remarkable contrast between sensation and servant. In this reading we hear the story of two of Jesus’ disciples, James and John, who make the request to Jesus to receive a position of…
Love received is love to be shared. Life is short – and we do not have too much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel the way with us. So let us be swift to love and make haste to be kind, and the blessing of God will be with us. In the…
What is it about youth-group songs that make them stick in your head? I am the resurrection [clap].And the life [clap, clap, clap, clap].Those who believe in me will live a new life.I am the resurrection [clap].And the life [clap, clap, clap, clap].Those who believe in me will never die. Who remembers that one? There’s…
“God did not make death, and he does not delight in the death of the living.” What do you think about that verse from the Wisdom of Solomon? If God didn’t make death and doesn’t delight in the death of the living, then why do people we love die, and who thought up heaven and…
We’re at that time of year again. Easter Day is past and once more we’re reading about Thomas, who evidently just can’t believe Jesus has been raised from the dead. But don’t we love this story? We love Thomas. We love to chuckle indulgently over his lack of faith, because we certainly don’t have trouble…
Father Abraham had many children.Many children had Father Abraham.I am one of them, and so are you.So let’s just praise the Lord! Perhaps many of us will think of this old-fashioned summer camp song when we hear these lessons about the promise made to Abraham in his old age. God had made these promises to…
Have you noticed that many of the post-Easter stories about the resurrected Jesus are centered on meals? The disciples knew the Lord in the breaking of the bread at Emmaus, as we recall in today’s collect; and Jesus comes among the disciples and shows his risen humanity by eating a piece of broiled fish in…
