Ours is an inconvenient faith. Take Jesus for example....
"....this Jesus of Nazareth leaving the convenient life of a town carpenter, going on to all he was and did - even to being betrayed by his nearest and dearest, and giving up his life to an excruciating death, healing the world of our brokenness, forgiving our sins, and reconciling us to God as the Christ, God's chosen one... out of God's love for us....a love that give us life eternal with God.
All this holy inconvenience becomes a blessing of life restored and renewed - God's promise, signed, sealed and delived - in the Resurrection of Our Lord from death to life on Easter.
What a glorious outcome that was, the first step in a journey as Christ followers onto the path of our inconvenient faith!"
Pr. Janet Fechner shared this message through the St. Michael's (Camillus) newsletter. Thank you for this wonderful word.
