Pastor's reflections

Monthly faith reflections from the pastor.

Transformation and Participation

1/15/2020

 
​The cross of Jesus Christ is/was/will be the catalyst for the death of the old and the rebirth of this new way of processing. The cross was no mere transaction of God gives X and we return Y but the revelation of the universal pattern of transformation woven into the very fabric of reality. 

Life, death, resurrection is the pattern. It’s the pattern of your individual life, of nature all around you, of stars and faith and the seasons. This is Christ, and Christ is in all things, because God created it this way. “All things came into being through this Word, and without it not one thing came into being” (John 1:3).

As God “opens the eyes of our hearts” or “wakes us from sleep” or gives us “the mind of Christ,” we become more aware of this pattern called “Christ.” We recognize Christ in every thing and in every one. And more, we learn to let go and trust. Our old self “dies” and God “raises” a new creation in us. We change, and we help God in God’s great changing, reuniting of all creation.
