Something Happened
from Brewing Theology With Teer Hardy Hosted by Teer Hardy
“Something Happened” August 18, 2024 John 6:51-61 Rev. Teer Hardy Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost Jesus brings us something that is beyond our reach; beyond our understanding. He is offering us the very life of God, revealing a God we could not imagine on our own. He comes to us before we seek Him. He comes to us before we project God upon the world. And he comes to us even as we attempt to explain him away. There is a living God who speaks and acts even while our modern world is full of ways to attempt to shut God out. God breaks through to us in God's mercy, as a means of grace. This is when the something happens. You may feel jolted, but that's OK. It is OK to find the moment when something happens unsettling and to ask, “What am I supposed to do with this bread from heaven? Eat my flesh and live. What does this mean?” Rather than dismiss or explain away, recognize this as a gift. Recognize this as God's grace for you.
