WEEKLY
​DEVOTIONS
A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR JOHN:

All this is from God, who reconciled himself to us through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.  So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
(2 Corinthians 5:18-20 NRSV)

Greeting from Lutheridge!  Stephanie and I are up here this week serving as Care Leaders (doing the daily bible study)  for the Pioneer A kids (3rd - 5th graders).  We're having a ball!  So far Kamden Wix is the only Silverstreeter I've seen, though I know Karsen and Griffin are both here also.

Though our daily bible studies with campers haven't used this text, it still is relevant to what we are teaching - How do we live in relationship with Christ and with one another?  A question that is never really fully answered.  Circumstances change, people change.  We always need new ways to teach that same old lesson:  Life lived with Christ is a life better lived - for us and for the world.

Clarence Jordan (pronounced Jerden) in his "Cabbage Patch" paraphrase of the New Testament, tells us that while Jesus was on the cross "he was hugging the whole world to himself."  What an amazing way to express God's act in Jesus to reconcile the whole world to God's own self.  John 3:17 was one of today's verses, "for God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but in order that through him the whole world might be saved."  Important words, for these words  reveal to us God's intent for us all.  That intent is salvation.

God never strays from that intent.  Since the call of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 12, this has been God's intent - the intent behind all of God's actions and dealings with people.  God loved us into being sustains us and all of creation with love, and is working toward a future in which we all live together with God and with one another.

God's call, then, is for us to stretch ourselves out, to our greatest extent, to offer again and again and again the love of God which comes in Jesus Christ to the whole world - even to our enemies.
Amen.
