Grace in a Ketchup Bottle

Grace in a Ketchup BottleGrace That Shows Up for Everyone—Sweet, Sour, and HungryApril 20, 2025Luke 24:1-12EasterRev. Teer HardySo maybe ketchup isn’t the worst metaphor after all. Not because it’s clever or funny (though many of you were worried about where this sermon was going). But because it’s ordinary. It’s always there. It meets every taste and doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t try to be impressive. It just shows up and makes everything else taste more like itself.Jesus doesn’t wait for belief to show up. He shows up to bring it with himThat’s the resurrection: not boutique grace, not gourmet faith, not salvation reserved for the religiously articulate.It’s grace that meets the whole of who we are—sweet, sour, bitter, hopeful, grieving—and says:“He is not here. He has risen.” Get full access to Brewing Theology with Teer Hardy at teerhardy.substack.com/subscribe
