DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. In today’s world, we are certainly not in short supply of tragic events. I am unsure if these occurrences are becoming more frequent or if the media simply chooses to focus on them. Maybe you have recently experienced a personally tragedy in your life. When these events occur most of us think that life is over. Even strong faithful Christians thought the end of the world had begun when the Roman Empire fell in 476 A.D. However, once things settled down and the dust cleared, the community of faith continued to be just what it was called to be, to tell of and demonstrate the love of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Every one of us will be affected by tragedy in some way and, as Jesus puts it, life will seem hopeless during those moments. But, the promise of the Gospel says that tragedy does not have the last word. In fact, there is nothing that can ever happen where God’s grace and mercy will not be made evident. Remember, God is not the author of tragedy, but the redeemer of it. So, keep hope alive. God bless.
