This Week's Focus: Lost & Found. Brief Audio reflection on Luke 15: 1-10. Proper 19 Year C. The 17th Sunday after Pentecost.
If you think life can get pretty tough sometimes, think what it would be like if you had to be perfect all the time? No flaws. No flubs. No mulligans. No typos. There is only one person who has ever met that standard. It isn’t you, and it sure ain’t me. At some time in our lives, we all mess-up. Maybe it’s a small misstep. Maybe we get totally off the reservation. The plain fact is we are all sinners: some occasional, some habitual, some petty, some gross. Rather than perfection, our lives are a cycle of falls and resurrections. In our pride, in our frailty… we are lost to sin. In Christ’s love, in his saving grace… we are found and redeemed.
