FIFTY BILLION GALAXIES

Joy comes often when it’s least expected: When a family member arrives safely, after having driven through a major snowstorm; when an unexpected piece of music comes on the radio, music that is tied in with a time of happiness; when I am kneeling at the altar with a friend. And I thank you, Jesus, for being born for me, for living all the way to death and dying for me because you were willing to be a mortal human being. And thank you for defying death by your resurrection, and for assuring us that as you went through life and death for us, you are calling us into the resurrection life with you. Thank you for leaving the glories of the galaxies and coming to us as one of us.

One of us? And who is us? We are, you and me, and the street people, and the farmers, and the executives with their briefcases, and the fourteen-year-old girl carrying her baby, and those who work hard to support their churches. And, oh, yes, the pagans and the junkies and those on the other side of the planet and the atheists and the searchers and…and…All of us.

Thank you, Jesus, for coming to us and loving us and healing us. Thank you for all that we do not understand.
