Learning from those on the margins might be a new way to think for many of us, but it’s the way of Jesus.

Looking at scripture and the world through the lens of love is not unique to this day and age. Today we hear from Julian of Norwich about her perspective in 1373AD.

Jesus and Paul interpreted scripture differently than we do. They saw it all through the lens of love.

If all we do is love, is that enough?

What lens we bring to scripture often determines what we see in it. What is your lens?

Truth isn’t a commodity to be collected, directed, or compiled. In Jesus, Truth is a person - and it’s all about being transformed into likeness of Jesus.

Paul says the only thing that matters is not our theology… it’s how we express it.

Paul writes that knowledge puffs up but that love builds up. How often do we feel puffed up by knowing more than someone or being ‘right’? Love might look a little different…

The first century writer, John, wants to make sure that we know that Jesus had a real body and that we need to use our real body to act like Jesus.

How do faith and works go together? Our history as Protestants set us on a path towards over emphasizing what we think/believe.

We thought there would be no way
We thought we would be forsaken
But in Christ Life walked

Some theology sounds a lot like poetry - and works the same way on us.

There’s a choice that God gives us: life or death. We get to participate with Jesus in the renewal of all things when we choose life.

Hope makes a way out of no way. So when Jesus comes and promises an indestructible life, we find hope to move in new ways.

We are not just called into a whole new life for ourselves… but to give it away to the world. This is one of the miracles of Easter
