You, Me, and our Enemy

Monday March 31st, Acts 2: 29 "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. That resurrection is the gift for all humanity. It is the gift of life for us all. All the striving, all the conniving and trying to get ahead, all the attempts to cast the life of Jesus as something that supports our, or anybodies political agenda, is false. Jesus came not to say someone is right and the rest are wrong, Jesus came to save humanity, all created humanity, all life. What we come together to celebrate is that all of life is redeemed and in the last day, you, me, and our enemy all rise to be with the Lord.
