Coming up Sunday, 10/21

What do you expect from Jesus? It’s not a question we think about very much, I’m sure, but it’s an important one! From the very beginning of Christianity, there has been a temptation to think of Jesus as a super-human figure, and, as we grow more aware of our fragilities and limitations, the longing for a divine superhero becomes all the stronger. But what if the real power of Jesus is that he is like us in every respect? What if what makes Jesus a savior is that he is human, and knows what it is like to feel weak and vulnerable like we do? The author of the Letter to the Hebrews asks us to consider that possibility.
This Sunday, we will be looking at Hebrews 5:1-10, and we will talk not just about Jesus but about the Christian life as a journey toward full humanity. I hope you are able to join us.
