YOU ARE INVITED!
Journey’s unit of United Women in Faith will meet on Tuesday, May 13, 10:30 a.m., at the church, for our monthly program. Jean Day will share her story in a compelling presentation, “I Remember.” Jean was a college student during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960’s.
“I Remember” is a recollection of her participation, questions, under-standing, and challenges during that time in our country’s history. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, May 13th, 10:30 a.m. And a sneak preview of June’s program….Marcia will present “Oh, the Places I’ve Gone” which is a fascinating story of her travels around the world, most recently to Paris. United Women in Faith are women with a purpose. We connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that we can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities. |
Isaiah 66:13
“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you...” John 10:22-30 Click on the Scripture to read it on BibleGateway. Thoughts about this week’s Scripture
John 10:22-30 One of the stunning parts of this text is the location.
Jesus is walking through Solomon’s Porch during the festival of lights, or Hanukkah (verse 22-23). This place is important; it was the porch or portico on the east side of the Temple and was called the “Porch of Judgment.” From this location, the King would make his judgments and exercise justice for those who were brought before him. And here is Jesus strolling through this historic location, physically embodying justice in this place of justice — something his life and teachings were all about. And into this setting again comes the identity question: “Hey, Jesus, stop keeping us in the dark. If you’re the Messiah, just tell us straight out” (verse 24). My belief is that Jesus is getting pretty tired of these questions. This need to question Jesus’ identity is sometimes called the messianic secret of John. John has used the term messias two times to explain to non-Jews who Jesus is. It is the equivalent term to christos, or the anointed one. But the questioners still don’t get it. |
