Teaching Pastor Sean Palmer continued our teaching in this sacred season, offering a message on hope in the midst of darkness; the seemingly improbable triumph of our infant savior standing against the "dragons" of a broken world.
Text
Genesis 3: 14-19
Revelation 12: 1-9
There is perhaps only one thing to say to this infant, who is all future, overlapping briefly with me, whose life, barring the improbable, is all but past. The message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life where you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.
- Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
Reflection
What "dragons" are present in your life; obstacles, relationships, illnesses, etc., that seem unsurmountable? How are you intentionally inviting the presence of Jesus, our Prince Of Peace, into these places?
