We honor Jesus as our king – but not as a master of domination: rather, the sovereign of our suffering, our savior from the inside out.
There’s a Lazarus in each of us, a part of us, dearly beloved by Jesus, that has died. Even in the face of sorrow, fear and death Jesus calls our spirits back to life.
Even at a distance we can touch and be touched: presence is not a matter of physical proximity but entering into one another’s joy and pain.
The whole service, live streamed. God’s grace is hidden in each person, in each moment. Trust, have courage, try new things, and listen to each other to hear that wholeness that’s there.
Jesus says we need to be born again. To do that the first thing you have to do is die.
God helps us let go of “needs” we don’t really need, setting us free from compulsions, enabling us to live by God’s Spirit alone.
Baptism conveys to us the promise of Jesus’ baptism and transfiguration, death and resurrection: serve God and seek justice. Things may not turn out well for you, but you’ll be OK.
