I have been so bazingaed by the prodigal son..... Just in awe of God (another prayer answered woo!). I love the sermon - mostly how the actuality of it all is explained - like how in that culture all of what Jesus said was CRAZY. It amazes me. How the son deserved to be
beaten and to be
forgotten and that that was normal. Translating to us - that's what we deserve? Yet Christ goes against all normalities and takes on our shame as his - being beaten and crucified.... like woah!
So much reality. It's a crazy world we live in - which is made by one awesome God is even crazier! (in a good way)
:)
Great words Trevor. The challenge for me becomes when Faith becomes "gorup think" and not an ongoing challenge to live in personal pursuit of Christ's work and call.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much easier for me to be culturally "normal" instead of sacrificially "unusual."
Trevor...i hear that! Just wait until next weeks sermon - part 2! Get ready to live!
