Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are finding enrichment and resolution as you meditate on the
experiences of Jesus during this Lenten season.
The journey of Jesus has taken him out of the desert and into the
intersections of his community. Now he is beginning to realize the
impending flood of danger and disruption he had only perceived before. His
testimony of God's solution for their entrenched problems is contrary to the
expectations of his audience. Even Jesus's closest companions cannot
comprehend the irrational nature of his predictions about his future. Jesus
warns them to not be deceived by their egotistical measurements of what will
or will not promote the purpose of God. Jesus pleads with them to abandon
their logical appraisals and follow God's way, regardless of the cost.
These thoughts will compose the sermon for this next Sunday, 'Divine
solutions defy human logic.'
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to
bring some portion of misery to an end
