Acts 2:36-41, Luke 24:13-35
Spring is upon us in its beauty, promise, and unpredictability! Our scriptures for this coming Sunday contain some of these “Spring” features as well. Two disciples on the road to Emmaus presumably in Spring/Passover weather, are suddenly with a companion who walks and talks with them, surprises them at a meal together, and leaves them with anticipation of His always being with them. And the two go tell the others what they have seen and heard. Spring excitement starts to build! The new covenant church grows!
We live in a difficult time where so much of what we see and hear lead to anxiety and fear. We need to hear another voice as well. A voice that comes from God through scripture and within a community that says to each other, “Look! Listen! God has been with us and will be with us! The Lord gives us gifts and graces to get through this and walk the roads we must walk.”
Until we are guided to worship in our sanctuaries once again, we gather on the “airwaves” to worship together. And other worship through your prayer life and scripture study and connection with each other through letters, texts, calls, FB, and emails.
The Lord says, “You can do this! Fear not!”
Though we are to “stay at home,” we can still keep “moving in faith!” Pray for one another especially those who continue to work and must be about on the roads helping others.
On to Sunday!
