    Palm Sunday through Good Friday: Life in a

    Sometimes we don't experience the full impact of the story because we constantly break it up into smaller chunks. This week, enjoy hearing Mark's version of the full story of Jesus' last week of life with some breaks for reflection, a meditation, and some music from Mark 11, 14 and 15.

    The Cross

    The Cross

    The version of the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for sin is well known and has been effective in causing many to join the Christian faith. Yet there are aspects that are deeply problematic - so much so that many are leaving the faith because of ithem. The earliest understanding of the cross didn't see it as a means of forgiveness, but as a model for grace under pressure, consistent with the message Jesus lived and taught throughout his ministry.

And then there's the beautiful mind-bender part of shalom that somehow brings together seeming opposites. When we embrace this fully, we discover that the most awful parts of our past can be transformed into something meaningful in our lives - the gnashing teeth of the monster in our memory can be pacified. It's work, but we are not alone, of the Sprit of God, being all about shalom, is constantly with us, for us, helping us move forward to, well, more and more and deeper and deeper shalom.

    Refreshing Creation

    Jesus had his mind blown during his baptism, which sent him into the wilderness to sort out who he was, who he wanted to be, and what he wanted to be about.  The temptations toward ego were strong, but he chose for God's shalom instead.  When he came out of his time away, he essentially invited any and all others to do the same.
