May 8, 2022: Back to the Beginning-Paula Williams

In our world today we often forget that Jesus was Jewish. More than just an ethnicity or religious label, this influenced the way people understood his work and his mission. Luke, from the very beginning, works to blow all that up and his family line is one example. Jesus, in his heritage, is connected to everyone - like all people - he too is a child of God.  He is flesh and bone, and the invitation to live like him is simple, and yet difficult.  Love God, love our neighbor, and love ourselves.
