HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (July 19, 2020)
Paul paints a rather bleak picture of creation. It is not one of peace, harmony, and co-existence in joy (Romans 8:18-30). Paul points out that creation groans in labor pains as it awaits something better. We ourselves groan in labor pains for a better world because we know there is much that is wrong in the world. We have a great challenge before us to make the world a better place until that final transformation that comes from God. The hope of a better world challenges us to begin that work today.
Being part of Christ’s Church, we are part of something bigger than ourselves. The Holy Spirit affirms God’s presence with us as we await that final transformation. Until then, Paul challenges us to live up to our calling as Christians and this is more than about “me and Jesus.” This is about Jesus and us and the renewal of the world. We are among “those whom God first reaches in the unfolding of God’s plan!” (Karl Barth) (Romans 8:12-17). May the restoration of the world begin with us who follow Christ as we await its final manifestation.
Prayer for the Week (July 19-July 25)
Let us pray to God our Father for discerning hearts: Lord God, our Father, our heart remains restless until it has discovered the peace you offer us in your Son Jesus Christ. May we not put our trust and joy in brittle, perishable things, but in your Son, his Good News, and the kingdom he came to build among us. May we be receptive to your calling with an attentive and wise heart. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
