BOB
Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central a United Methodist Community in Meridian.
This morning I would like to share with you from Max Lucado’s book “Fearless.” He says: Boxes bring wonderful order to our life. They keep cereal from spilling and books from tumbling. When it comes to containing stuff, boxes are masterful. But when it comes to defining Christ, no box works. Oh, his contemporaries tried.
They designed an assortment of boxes. But he never fit any of them.
He defied an easy definition. We still try to define him. I once reduced Christ to a handful of doctrines. He was a recipe, and I had the ingredients. Mix them correctly, and the Jesus of my making would appear.
Jesus blew the sides out of all misconceptions.
Don't we need to know the transfigured Christ? One who spits holy fire? One who takes friends to the Mount top so they can peek into heaven? Ascend it.
Stare longingly at the Holy One, the Only One.
