Heavy Lifting

“I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth." (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) “Here is the Lamb of God who lifts up the sins of the world!” (John 1:29) On the weekend we celebrate and remember the life and work of Dr. King, we see in John’s gospel a Savior that makes the sins of the world visible before us. When we say we want to follow Jesus, do we understand what it is we’re going to see? How do we live with the tension that recognizing our sins brings us? Casey FitzGerald preaches on John 1:29-42.
