Today’s readings urge believers to come together in a community characterized by love. In Acts 11 (BCP) Luke describes how, in Antioch, the Christian community expands to include Gentiles. In his sermon in Acts 10 (RCL), Peter tells Cornelius of God’s work in Jesus Christ, thus opening the doors of the Church to Gentiles. The author of 1 John describes Jesus as God’s love for us, and calls us to embrace one another in that love. In the gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that they have been chosen to love one another; in this they will find perfect joy.
Thoughts on this weeks text from a neo-traditional Pentecostal mystic. In these pages you will find a pentecostal perspective, a concern for the interplay of RCL readings, and attempts to contextualize the text for intergenerational family ministry. I will also post poetry and artwork I find meaningful in my meditation for Sunday.
