DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church. Over the past holidays, I bet most of you have received a
few gifts. Did you misplace a few of those, or mistakenly throw them away?
Just like losing a gift, we can also lose something very valuable on our
journey of faith, a clear understanding of the Christian faith. This can be
brought on by tragic events in our lives or in the world around us. It can be
influenced by broken relationships.
In the bible, Luke tells of the time Joseph and Mary searched three days for
Jesus when he was 12 year old. When they found him they questioned
young Jesus as to why he left without telling them. However, they did not
understand the answer Jesus gave them. We too can have similar moments.
This does not mean we are hopelessly lost. It simply means we need to
regroup.
We are humans who often rely upon human understanding. So, what can be
done? When we finally recognize our loss, then we will each feel the need to
revisit our relationship with Jesus. You are invited to come worship with us
and revisit the one who came for you.
