Mid-week Sermon Reflection — Embodiments of Love

Hi Tab Family,

This past Sunday, Sana preached:

“Practicing and embodying this love-centric Christianity will change how we see and engage with the rest of the world. We will come to expect to see this love-spirit in everything – not just in our churches or in our practice of religion, but in society at large, in work, in school, in family, and in all aspects of human existence. Our role, then, will be to continuously and intentionally offer our lives and ourselves as dynamic embodiments of Christ-like love in the world. In the brief time we spend on earth, we must use it to fill and overflow with love, joining together to create an ever-expanding tide of radical, transformative love.”

This has been my affirmation all week. I’ve written it out on paper each day to help it really sink in. And I have a LOT of questions for myself:

-How exactly am I going to change the way I engage with the world?
-How exactly am I going to be an embodiment of this love?
-What am I going to have to de-prioritize so that I can even be capable of offering myself up to be an agent of this love?
-Is this something I really want to do?
-Can I trust that if I do this, I won’t be alone in my efforts?

Then I come back down to earth and ground myself in this community we are creating at Tab. I feel like I can trust that I won’t actually be alone in my efforts. In fact I’m really excited to move closer to Tab at the end of this month, so I can be in greater community with Tab’s neighbors at our Community Meals, and pass peace with you all face to face.

Peace upon the end of your week,
Taylor
