Jesus – Reflections from the Pew

Sunday readings reflection: plain talk

God made manifest, Jesus became one of us and one with us with plain talk.

I see many reading signs in modern times and laying claim to know this is the end of the world. Maybe they’re right. Maybe not.

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
-Luke 11:10

Telling and listening to stories …
So to laugh or to learn or to grieve or to pray
And to see Jesus in and through others

Will we stand still, bound by our life, or will we move with Christ to unchained joy and everlasting love?

In taking, we received death through sin. In receiving, we receive life through Christ.

Christ is our solid rock.
