Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.
-
When Jesus talks about forgiveness, we tend to make the question about ourselves (how do I?) when it is about a relationship.
-
Many people talk about forgiveness in terms of absolutes. You have to forgive. Or That’s unforgivable. But Jesus is focused on people.
-
In one of the most misused teachings, Jesus seems to set up a framework many use for shunning when Jesus seeks forgiveness.
-
When Jesus warns of his death and Peter voices his opposition and protection, we are pulled into a reorienting so profound we might miss it.
-
Jesus’s rebuke of Peter comes after perhaps his greatest moment—a turn around that reminds us that we’re leading with love, not shoring up power.
