Christ Jesus comes to all the dead-ends in our lives, what seems impossible, what seems to trap and bind us. He resolutely steps into our primordial darkness and says, “No! I won’t have it.
God won’t have it. Let there be light.” For the Light that is Christ Jesus our
Lord cannot abide the darkness, the shame and isolation. He is Light that transforms us.
Jesus who is sent by his Father to heal and redeem and relieve us will anoint us with the blood and water flowing from his sacred wounded side. He is the Living Water that recreates and refreshes. And even as he prepares in these days to step into the darkness of rejection that is hanging over him, oppressive, inevitable; he does not hold back, he moves steadfastly into it
all, knowing that he can bring life out of what seems impossible; all the while trusting in his Father's love.
