Greetings in the- all-welcoming,- all-embracing,- all-including,
- all-forgiving,- all-loving name of Jesus of Nazareth.Tuesday Lunch Hour ServicesWorshipInspirationReflectionEvery Tuesday: 13h10-13h40When Nathanael was invited to meet Jesus of Nazareth he responded: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” [John 1:43-51]. He was sceptical at best, but with my South African-sensitive ears Nathanael sounds to me more like a racist than a mere sceptic. Like many of us, Nathanael seemed to have a problem with the “otherness” of others. He used people’s differences to distance himself from them. But then something amazing happens. Despite (or is it because of) Jesus knowing his heart, Jesus greets Nathanael with grace, saying: “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit”. That is not how I would have greeted Nathanael but it is how Jesus did. Jesus always greets with grace, meaning that he forever greets us with love that we do not deserve. It is this greeting of grace that then moves Nathanael to a new openness for relationship and heals him of his prejudice and fear and so much more.This is the healing journey we are on at Central Methodist Mission (CMM) in Cape Town. This healing journey begins when we hear Jesus greet each one of us with grace.I hope you can hear Jesus greeting you with grace. He says to you: “You are a true child of God – in whom there is no deceit!” Let Jesus’ greeting tingle your ears and ring in your heart and I invite you to reflect on any questions that come to your mind as a result. Above all I invite you to receive it as good news.Now a sure sign that we are on this journey is when we begin to greet others with grace too. This is our hope at CMM that we will learn to greet all people with grace. In fact the only way we can hold on to this gift of grace is by sharing it. Therefore at CMM we long to be an all-welcoming, all-embracing, all-including, all-forgiving, all-loving community. And all really does mean all. The Santa Clause 2 movie
