MIDWEEK REFRESHER
READ: John 15:9-17
REFLECT: It often seems that the more schooling we have the less able we are to handle the ambiguity of Christian living. The logic of scientific thought encour-ages us to focus upon one concept at a time. The poetic language of the scriptures leads us to hold in a healthy tension concepts which, at first glance, seem mutually contradictory. God calls us to a way of life which makes demands, yet God's ways frequently seem to contra-vene the way we have taken. This was certainly Peter's experience. Peter thought that only those born in Israel could come to Christ, but the manifestation of the Spirit's gifts in the life of the Gentile Cornelius shattered all his comfortable notions. Christ's resurrection shat-tered all notions of how God might work among us. It destroyed all barriers which might hedge in the possibil-ities of God's power wording in human history. Christ's victory showed forth the power of love: God's love which could draw forth from death the servant who had gone to death in obedience to love. For the makers of greeting cards love might be sentimental and soft. For Christians, love is as strong and as real as the demands made by friends who are willing to die that the other might live. That gives greater cause for the singing of alleluias than do fuzzy fantasies about some sort of love which can be reduced to pastel holy cards. Only living in that sort of love will enable us to know that death and life, obedience and freedom, vigilance and surprise are but different refractions of one true Light. PRAY: Pray for the gift to see as God sees. ACT: Help the next homeless person with a smile and a donation.
