Good Morning!
REV AMY ROLLER
In William Young’s novel, The Shack, the main character, Mack, has gone through a family tragedy and is led to a shack where he encounters God. What he finds is not what he expects. He finds Jesus but also finds God in the form of “Papa”, a black woman, and the Holy Spirit in the form of a mysterious character, Sarayu.
There’s a scene of them all gathered for a meal in the kitchen. We see an image of God, the Trinity, sitting around a table, laughing, eating, and fellowshipping, and Mack is drawn into this divine community.
Our sense of community as Christians comes from the fact that the very essence of God is community. God is Trinity, 3 persons, so the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are actually in relationship with each other.
The relational life of God draws us into community with God and with other Christians. God created us to be in community, so go today, and draw others into relationship with our God.
