‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’ Pilate asked him, ‘What is truth?’

Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.

The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.

“Faith seeking understanding,” in the words of St Anselm, is our hope.  In the meantime, “wax on, wax off…breathe in, breathe out” can help us remember that we are called to live and serve in the present in humility, joy and confidence, because our future is assured through the grace and providence of God.”

Christ made it abundantly clear that only God knows the time and manner in which God’s Kingdom will be (re)established on earth.  He also made it abundantly clear that it will happen, Christ will come again to usher it in, and we have been invited to enjoy it with him forever.

Although our faith has ancient roots, it is thoroughly forward looking.

While the life and ministry of Jesus happened in a particular moment in human history, Jesus’ work continues, guiding us toward a future that is leading us toward the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom on earth.

Just about everything in our relationship with God is about newness, new-orientation, renewal, and transformation.
