  • Awkward Family Christmas: The Scarlet Letter, The Scarlet Rope, and the Scarlet Thread.

    Part 2 - "The Scarlet Letter, The Scarlet Rope, and the Scarlet Thread."

    In Nathaniel Hawthorne's book, The Scarlet Letter, He weaves together a story about a woman who commits adultery and must wear the scarlet letter "A" on all her dresses as an outward sign of her secret sin. She is scorned and shamed by the entire town. We all have our own scarlet letters, do we not? We all bear the mark of sin. However, in the Christmas story, we are reminded that Jesus came to deal with our sin. We continue to learn from Matthew's genealogy of Jesus and the awkward family members it contains. This week, we meet Rahab.
