The Apostle Paul, in his first letter to the Corinthians, in chapter 13, makes a wonderful description of the one thing which is part either of the fruit of the spirit, and is a gift from God as well. However, one of the author’s most wonderful statements in this regard is that he recognizes that love remains, along with faith and hope. Nevertheless, Paul makes it clear that of these three, the greatest is love.
Jesus on the cross experiences what millions of people have experienced throughout hundreds of thousands of generations. God did not intervene, because the Divine sometimes does not do so.
The Bible is full of new beginnings. Stories that have ended and that allow others to make their way with hopeful possibilities. Actually, the very life of human beings is full of endings and beginnings, cycles; joys that are interrupted by sadness, which, likewise, are dissipated by new dawns. During this time, Trinity UMC in Ewing is one example of this, and I feel honored to be part of this new season for our congregation.
Welcome to Trinity...
Where the invisible throw shadows,
the weak lead, the silent are heard,
and the pushed aside
are called into the center
where they are listened to,
lifted up and loved.
Whoever you are, you are welcome here!
