The Cross and the Rectification of All Things

"Because the power of sin and evil impact the entire created order, “fixing things” involves more than “forgiving an individual’s particular sins” or “saving an individual’s soul.” It involves more than helping us as individuals come to spiritual and psychological peace – in light of what we have done or what has been done to us. It is rectification." Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scripture lessons are Romans 6:3-4; Romans 8:22; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; and Isaiah 54:8.
