John points to Jesus.
And two follow.
Jesus called to Philip.
And Philip found Nathanael.
Beckoning spirit, we crave you.
We ache for connections and peace and wholeness.
All around us we see hatred, brinkmanship, and suffering neighbors.
Why? How did we get here?
How did we get here? Why do we play at war when you teach us to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly?
What prevents us from living true to your breath which gives us life?
Open our hearts and minds.
Touch your image within us, make us one with you.
Make us one with each other.
As you created us to be.
Christ beckons: “Come and See.”
Let us follow and become glimpses of you in our world.
Let us begin in this hour.
Let us worship and learn.
Open us to Christ’s transformation.
Amen.
