12 Pentecost

Two phrases immeditately get my attention this week.

BEYOND THE RIVER

In Joshua, the children of Israel after centuries of exile in Egypt and 40 years in the desert are poised to enter the promised land. One of the things Joshua says to them is that what was important to them beyond the river (the river Jordan) will (must) change now. Life Here and the way life is lived Here will be different on this side of the Jordan.

How does 'Beyond the River' speak in our lives?

WORDS OF LIFE

In John, Jesus has baffled, challenged and offended most of the people, including many of the disciples. And they've left him. He asks the 12, Will you leave too? And Peter says, "Lord, where would we go? You have the words of life?"

What are "Words of Life" for each of us?
