The Freedom To Be Filled

When death seems to have had the last word and rising up feels locked down, we call on the power of love and life. We take up Jesus’ cup of freedom, we call on the name of the One Who Is Truly Sovereign, and we claim the freedom to move forward, to follow, to rise again, to love, bless, and be opened. In the end, we are filled with the freedom of the Spirit of God.

On this day of Pentecost, we celebrate the birth of the Body of Christ filled with the Holy Spirit alive in the world in and through us, the disciples of Jesus. The presence of Christ through “the Advocate,” as promised, is always real. When we see each other and know each other as Beloved of God, this is the source of our peace and our freedom.
