so, what did you expect?

Thursday December 16th, Matthew 11: 2 John was in prison when he heard what Christ was doing. So John sent some of his followers 3 to ask Jesus, "Are you the one we should be looking for? Or must we wait for someone else?" 4 Jesus answered, "Go and tell John what you have heard and seen. 5 The blind are now able to see, and the lame can walk. People with leprosy are being healed, and the deaf can hear. The dead are raised to life, and the poor are hearing the good news. What do you see and what do you hear the church doing today? What do you see and what do you hear in your life today? In some places what you hear is the bringing of joy, the bringing of healing, hope and peace in this world. In other places, only fear of the end time’s judgment of others. What are our churches, those who read this in the internet as well as our little church in south Anchorage doing to demonstrate God’s presence in the world? And then we have to ask ourselves what are we called to do? What is one more thing we can do in 11 to counter the rise of self-centered and destructive fundamentalism in the world?
