Dear St. John’s friends and family,
When you were growing up, did you pray, “God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for our food.” at the dinner table? I did! And all I could think about was how good and great the food was going to taste! I really didn’t stop to reflect on what it meant that God was good and great. In the last several weeks, we’ve been thinking more deeply about God and God’s work in our life, especially the work of reconciliation. What is our response to God’s work in our life? What about God’s work in other’s lives when they receive the exact same love and grace we receive, but they can’t seem to get their life in order? They consistently hurt themselves and hurt the people around them. What do we think about God when life looks unfair?
Today, we’ll take another look at the story of the prodigal son, but this time we’ll look at the one character we didn’t mention last week, his brother.
For now, let’s open our hearts to the movement of God in our life and the possibility of what God is doing for all people. To the one that is faithful to all, we praise with heart and voice!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Stephanie
