Challenging Certainties (David Gore - Luke 7:11-17)

There are moments in life that seem to be a dead end. This might be literally the death of someone we have loved. Jesus enters our world of seeming absolute finalities and calls forth things beyond our capacity to imagine possible. Sometimes this can be experienced as strangely unsettling - like new growth bursting through the pavement, it breaks open the smooth certainties of our established expectations. Jesus draws us into a life that is not as neat or predictable... But that is most certainly fully alive!
