Christ is risen!
Through the weeks of Easter we will be looking at the readings from the Revelation to John, commonly called the Apocalypse. It is filled with incredible Visions of God meant to encourage those who were persecuted for being part of the early Christian community. Revelation’s Visio Dei (Vision of God) can inspire and guide us today as we participate in God’s vision for us and the world.
Today we give thanks that salvation belongs to our God. Have you ever been asked, “Are you saved?” I wonder what your response is. Has someone ever told you how to “get saved”? I wonder how you responded. There are a million ways to be “saved”, and each comes with a price tag. I wonder what price you have paid for your salvation – a relationship? a checkbook? Self-confidence? I wonder if someone’s idea of salvation has spiritually bankrupted you.
Today we celebrate that salvation belongs to no one. No preacher, evangelist, healer, politician, emperor, military economic system or guru can save us. Salvation belongs to God. And – great news – it is free.
A service of Holy Communion. All are welcome.
