The Truth of the World is Love
The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
“…this is the promise of the Gospel: more life, new life. And as hard as it is to hold onto, this is still the promise; renewed across history through one savage human moment after another. In the middle of our lament, we are called to hold onto the vision of God’s realm, to participate in God’s realm. It is very easy to despair or to grow numb and stop paying attention or to let exhaustion win. But, it is precisely now, now when the world around us feels the most apocalyptic, that we have to respond with resilient, healing love… Love is the answer that we must have. And it is precisely now when systemic evil, and age-old brokenness threaten to bring us to ruin that we have to hold each other tight. As the veil parts and the walls fall, we need each other.”
