We often reprint prior devotions that now reflect on the coming lectionary texts. This is a reprint from a devotion originally published on May 29, 2013.
Prayer: Help us, Lord, to better understand your ways. Amen. Reading: John 1: 14-18 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: A lot of our faith is based on incomprehensible truths. Isn't it something to think that God's Word became flesh through Jesus Christ? Isn't it something what John said when he remarked, "He comes after me, but He is greater than I am because He existed before I was born?" Through God's grace we have been blessed. God's love is unconditional; it has no strings attached. And once we are His chosen people, we will remain God's people forever. What was in the beginning is now and ever shall be! Praise be to God! --Chad Hershberger
