PSA 12 February 2012

Ken Howcroft. “You can make me clean”. Think of the things you would not expect Jesus to do for you, because “you do not deserve  them” or because “you are not good enough”. Then hear Jesus saying to you like he said to that man in the Gospel reading “I am angry that you think that I am not going to be bothered with you. I am angry at the system that has made you think like that”. And in your imagination feel Jesus touching you, and telling you that you are free, that you are holy, that you are OK. And thank God! A sermon for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time (after Epiphany). The readings were 2 Kings 5:1-14, Psalm 30 and Mark 1.40-45.
