It is important to note that Jesus in Luke’s Gospel for this week is being descriptive, rather than prescriptive. Jesus, whose role among us according to Luke, is to “guide our feet in the way of peace” (1:79), is describing what he sees in the world around him.

For the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

For the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one spirit we were all baptized into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.

I danced in the chapel last night. After corporate worship, after wine

and striving, giving voice to the hope and joy and frustration and sorrow
and love that fill my heart. Read More...
