Two word pictures of our spiritual condition – a woman who by her own work as a slave, purchases clothing that loudly proclaims her profession – and a bride whose husband gives her a wedding dress she could never afford.
After Jesus was resurrected, he joined two of his disciples as they walked away from Jerusalem. They did not recognize him and he seemed completely unaware of what had taken place that last week in Jerusalem. The irony is that Jesus as the Stranger didn’t seem to know what was going on – but he was actually the only one who really knew.
We thrill to stories about a person being rescued who is unknown to the rescuer, but what kind of love does it take to purchase a slave who has been unfaithful?
Suffering is woven like a tapestry into the experience of God’s love expressed for you and me, and the expressions of his love that we pass on to others, by his grace.
Guilt, shame and remorse can cause us to hide, to self-medicate or even deny reality by announcing we are something or someone we are not – and while the pain is real, such solutions are not. We can be absolutely transformed and rescued – join us as we discuss the Solution.
Why hop on board the bus of Christ-less religion, which is either driving around in circles or heading in the wrong direction? Why not follow Jesus, who knows exactly where he is going?
