Gathered In Jesus | Made Clean in Fertilizer, March 20, 2022

March 20, 2022Luke 13:1-9Lent 3, Year CThe hope we need in a world broken by sin is that our fruitfulness comes by the laboring of the divine gardener, the One who is devoted to the flourishing, the fruitfulness of all creation, despite what our sin says about us.By gathering all of creation up in his mercy and grace, Jesus is cultivating us toward fruitfulness, answering the question pastors love to debate with one another in large arenas and dank church basements – “how has God has dealt with our sin?”The starting point for us is to repent, turning away from the bright lights of sin and toward the faithfulness of the gardener. The One who promises never to forsake or abandon. The One who has covered us in the manure of his divine grace so that we are made clean by his righteousness.Grace and mercy.Mercy and grace.https://www.facebook.com/realteerhardyhttps://www.twitter.com/teerhardyhttps://www.instagram.com/teerhardy Get full access to Brewing Theology with Teer Hardy at teerhardy.substack.com/subscribe
