From My Heart
 |
Some people only make it church on three occasions, a baptism, a wedding, and a funeral. I think that’s because even the person with no spiritual interest whatsoever realizes that these times are the three fundamental responses to God. Jesus celebrated a wedding at Cana of Galilee because their response in marriage captures the intimacy of the love between Christ and the Church. We stand with Stephen as he dies, calling, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit! And this morning we stand with Malcolm and Jenny and Hannah as she speaks “For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him. Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as Samuel lives he shall be lent to the LORD.”
The Bible can be roughly divided into two sections. I need to be more careful this morning in my theology with other celebrated clergy in attendance. The Bible is a study of God’s intentions towards humanity and a report of how we respond. God has every intention of bringing justice and mercy to every home on this planet. God is love implacable and justice undeniable.
