    We may lose some things that may be desirable in this life by surrendering our lives to Jesus, but the life we gain is far greater than anything we have now. And the life in Christ is always learned through the preaching of the Word, in whatever form it comes to us.

    Christmas 2C. We learn from Jesus as a boy in the temple, that when God cannot be found, it is we who are looking in the wrong places.

    Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.

    I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more
