Sermon: Learning
Family. Novelist Frederick Buechner
says that families – as we all know – are both fragile and strong. And that it
is inside of them that we will, or will not, learn what it means to be part of
the human family. In John’s gospel, Jesus “commands” love. Invites, it really.
Or, better, embodies it, and invites us to watch, learn and follow. Our own
families, then our church family, are training grounds.
