"Between the Gasp and Grasp" – John 2:1-11
Sermon by the Rev. Ben Brannan from Sunday, October 15, 2023. "The mother of Jesus sees her son as someone who could—and should—meet need. And the question of theodicy stands beside her in this moment. Why is [the wine running out at the Wedding at Cana] not a concern for Jesus? . . . We see a world in desperate need and we, too, turn to Jesus, as someone who could—and should—meet need. And the question of theodicy stands beside us today, as well."
Sermon title comes from the poem “The Wedding” by Terry Chapman, Presbyterian CREDO Spiritual Faculty.
