Scripture: Acts 11:1-18 • Psalm 148 • Revelation 21:1-6 • John 13:31-35
Before his ascension, Jesus gives us a new commandment. If you love, love as I have loved you... this is how you will be known - if you love one another.
As Christians, how are we known? The media focuses on the sensational. Even so, the media provides a reason to examine how others perceive our faith, generally, as a church, and individually.
How did Jesus love? How do we love... if we love. Do we love as Jesus loved, and loves us? What keeps us from loving as Jesus loves?
Debie Thomas gives us insight in her "If You Love," as does The Rev. J. Barrington Bates in "The Way of Love," including how we use social media.
The Rev. Charles Hoffacker in "Time" discusses different understanding of time in this week's passage from Revelations, "See, I am making all things new. "
Finally, Michael Fitzpatrick , a former chaplain and PhD candidate, tells us of the shekinah, the glory of divine presence, as he and we seek a new home, discussing our Revelations passage, and what that means for us in "The Home Of God Is Among Mortals."
