A Moment Aside --- 21 October 2021
There are plenty of things
we want to be led to by God. We want to be led out of loneliness, out of fear,
or out of danger. We want to be led to prosperity, to peace, or to wisdom.
There is nothing at all wrong with any of those.
They are still not enough.
Jesus didn’t come among us only to teach us or to give us some sort of program
to live by. He didn’t come among us to take us away from our human reality.
Jesus came among us to be
with us in every way possible. He did not sin, yet he was considered sinful by
many in his time. There are those even today who say he failed, yet this is not
true. He was -and is- “Emmanuel”… “God with us.” He is “the Good News.”
Beyond all Jesus can teach
us and inspire us to be and lead us to a richer, more human life, may he lead
us to himself.
