Knows no limits

Thursday February 1st, Luke 4: 21 and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked. They must have been proud of him. That young Jesus, he did so well. Look what we taught him. They were right of course, they did teach him. Part of who Jesus was, was formed listening to the word and being part of the community of faith. But as with most communities of faith, it had it’s limits also. Isn’t this Joseph’s son? The very words invoke limits and preconceived ideas, invoke limits. God’s love knows no limits, God’s vision knows no limits, God’s forgiveness knows no limits. Sometimes breaking the mold is hard. Sometimes it is the only thing that can bring growth. Be open to the word of God in your midst coming from even the cute little places, and be open to your ideas of the kingdom breaking apart. Remember, it knows no limits.
