20 Oct 2019 - Rev. David Pileggi looks at the strange story of Jacob wrestling God through the night. Jacob was a fearful schemer, bad behavior he learned from his parents and grandparents. Yet after this incident on Genesis 32, he emerges transformed. His identity is change and he is no longer afraid. The lectionary pairs Jacob with the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, in which we also see desperate persistence, which God honors. What is faith? It's not only trust, but it's a refusal to give up. When Jesus returns, will he find us vulnerable enough, desperate enough for him? Will he find faithful ones? Readings: Genesis 32:22-31; Luke 18:1-8 Blessed by our teachings? Consider saying thank you with a small (or large) donation. www.christchurchjerusalem.org/donate/
