God’s love is timeless and endless, from before the earth ever existed, through the evolution of plants and animals and humankind, through the lives of families of Sarah and Abraham and the lives of our own families and their descendants. In the face of this endless love, why do I care about small annoyances, or even large ones. God is good.
Namaste! Amen!
The Readings
Genesis 17:3-9
Psalm 105:4-9
John 8:51-59
Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.’ The Temple authorities said to him, ‘Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and Sarah died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, “Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.” Are you greater than our ancestors Abraham and Sarah, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?’ Jesus answered, ‘If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. But the One who glorifies me is Abba God, of whom you say, “This is our God.” You have not come to know God, but I have and if I were to say that I do not know God, I would be a liar like you. But I do know God and I faithfully keep God’s word. Your ancestors Abraham and Sarah rejoiced that they would see my day; they saw it and were glad.’ Then the authorities said to him, ‘You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Sarah and Abraham?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, before Sarah and Abraham ever were, I AM.’ So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
