Being God’s Works of Art
Manage episode 405958227 series 2288369
Readings:
Hebrew Scripture: Numbers 21:4-9
Psalm: 107:1-3,17-22
Epistle: Ephesians 2: 1-10
Gospel: John 3:14-21
What I want to say:
We began by watching part of the video - St George's College Jerusalem: Ways in the Wilderness, looking particularly at the Hermitage, Solitude and Community.
How do these themes help us this Lent?
Then John uses the Jerusalem Bible version of Ephesians “We are God’s works of art,”, and asks, do we see ourselves and others as works of art?
He uses this to reflect on John 3 – second half of the conversation with Nicodemus – which is all about identity as well.
Belief as Trust – what does it mean to trust God
- For our identity – quote Mary MacLeod Bethune (1875–1955)
- For all we need
Were does the cross fit with all this?
What I want to happen:
Reflect on how "Hermitage, Solitude and Community" help us grow into being God’s works of art, to trust this image and receive the grace to see this in others.
