The Word

Jesus offers the same yoke that he bears, the saving mission he receives from the Father.

We need to speak Christ’s words in our own voice.

The fearless, risky speech of Jeremiah and Jesus is both an example and a command to the church throughout time.

Jesus’ body was a place of action. In his body, Jesus healed, fed, forgave, called and taught.

As Jesus received direction and strength from his Father, so the disciples receive direction and strength from the risen Christ.

What might get lost in this elegant theology is that the Trinity does not act merely for God’s own glory, but to form a people.
