Bulletin

The people of Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown, love it when Jesus gets up to read Scripture and preach in their local Jewish synagogue. However, when he reminds these people of Israel of a couple of Gentiles, or foreigners, who also received mercy and healing from God, they became angry and irate. Why is it that we humans sometimes have a hard time with others who may be different than us also receiving God’s mercy and healing? Where is it that we can find forgiveness, new attitudes, and new life?

God’s Word has a way of pointing us ahead. Some day, says God, there will be a time when the lion lies down with the lamb and the whole world will be redeeemed! God’s Word points us to a day when all will be well and in this we find hope. But there is an immediacy to God’s Word, too, especially when it involves Word Made Flesh. In the season of Epiphany, tonight’s readings reveal the work of God to be here and now.
