"If Jesus is THE WORD made flesh, and THE WORD was with the JEWS BEFORE He became flesh, and no one comes to the Father but through Him (THE WORD), then what kind of ideas might we come up with?"
This provocative line is from one of the responders to a blog I follow: http://rachelheldevans.com and just one of many thought-provoking elements there.
I find great comfort in those who point out that God holds the door WIDE OPEN, even as some of His children seem to want to push it closed at least a little bit.
The lectionary readings for this Sunday before the start of Advent include the "shepherd's warning" passage: Jeremiah 23:1-6.
Required reading for all who audaciously stand to preach.
