the Fourth Sunday of Lent

the Rev. Emily Boring The Rev. Emily Boring reflects on what it means to trust in the living and resurrected body of Jesus the Christ. What does this trust offer us in times of fear, uncertainty, grief, and change? It draws on the work of German theologian Paul Tillich, who writes about sin as the state of separation: separation from true self, from others, and from God. To trust in the body of Christ means trusting that connection, relationship, and love are stronger than separation, and acting from that conviction. Emily reminds us that we are the living body of Christ in the world, and asks the listeners to consider what that identity calls us to do.
