God Broke In...

Creation
Chaos hovered over the deep,
God broke in…
Earth, sky, water, animals, garden,
Man, woman-breath of the Creator,
New life-new world.
It was good.
 
Deliverance
More bricks, more bricks,
Pain, suffering- Pharaoh’s mighty slaves.
God broke in…
Let my people go!
400 years- no more.

Savior
A star in the night sky
 a lowly manger,
God broke in…
A woman gave birth to a Son,
The man gazed at the new infant boy,
Angels sang, Alleluia!
The Father smiled,
This is my Son in whom I am well pleased.
 
Disciples
The Word became flesh and lived among us.
God broke in…
Follow me fishers of men, women and children.
Come all who are weary and rest in me.
Love the Father with your heart, soul and mind.
Love each other.
 
Sacrifice
Are you the Christ?
God broke in...
I AM.
Crucify him, crucify him.
Today you will be with me in paradise.
Father forgive them.
It is finished.
 
Resurrection
Why are you searching for the living among the dead?
God broke in…
Where have you put him?
Mary
He has risen!
Go into the world and teach all nations.
Peace, I leave with you.
 
Mission
Wait for the promise.
Rush of wind-tongues of fire.
The Spirit of God flows
Repent- God’s grace abounds,
3000 baptized.
The church was born.
 
Today
Fear, violence, harsh rhetoric, hate, abuse, anxiety
Who is my neighbor?
God broke in…
Fruits of the Spirit
Love- one another
Joy- in God’s love
Peace- how we treat others
Tolerance- of different opinions and beliefs
Kindness- in our words and actions
Goodness- is what we show others
Faithfulness- to the Creator
Gentleness- understanding one another
Self-control- respect of all people and the created world.
 
God’s love breaks into the world through you and me.
