A Faith to Live By, Part 3: Jesus Christ, 1952 September 28
In the third sermon of this series, Thurman offers commentary on Jesus as a resource for faithful living into the fact of God. Thurman says that Jesus offered to his disciples a vision of God – not a metaphysic, not a theology, not a dogma – but an embodied vision of God. This vision revealed that God is near, and God is love, two principles that cannot be separated. No degradation, no waywardness can rub out God's signature on us. We are redeemed, not by our own individual character, but by God's loving character. In the story of "adulterous woman," Jesus lives into this reality of God that sees us in the tragic state that we are, and yet believes us into greater possibility.
