Celebrate Jesus!
Pastor Tom Joyce
May 23, 2022
“They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This is Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, and will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’”
Acts 1:11
There is something about a sunrise that confirms for me the amazing love of God for all people. The beauty and mystique of the colors is testimony and affirmation of the goodness of God and hence all that God has created, including you and me. In those few yet sacred times visiting the beach, my eyes are set upon the horizon as the sun begins shedding light upon the day that has been made for us by God. The problem is, if all I do is look at the magnificent sunrise spreading along the water’s surface and cast upon the canvas of the early morning sky, all those journeying with me along the shore are missed. God, through our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, calls us to celebrate creation and that includes all those we sojourn with along the way. Maybe that is why we have been called by Jesus to “love our neighbor;” in loving our neighbor we can even more appreciate the love of God. Whether loving the unlovable, loving our neighbor, sharing a mother’s love, or basking in the love of God, living in the love of God evidenced in not only creation but all those around us transforms our lives and gives priority to sharing the love of God with one another. As God shares with us the sunrise at the start of every new day, may we celebrate the Son rising in our soul that makes all things new and wonderful beginning today!
