​Daily Lectionary Readings for Year A

Paul inspires today by telling of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Paul describes how Jesus appeared to many, even to him.  In part, this establishes his credibility for the people of Corinth.  But, the more important point is that the Gospel is being lived out through witnesses everywhere.  The love of Jesus Christ cannot be contained.

Have you ever tried to draw out what a Scripture feels like to you?  Let your mind go free and follow where your artistic heart leads you.  It can be prayerful and enlightening.  I have a sketch app.  Today, I tried to sit and draw what I felt about 1 Corinthians 15.  I could be very, very critical and negative about myself and the picture I have drawn.  I could complain that I am not an artist, that my people look strange, and that this picture is missing so much.  But, I will give myself some grace and let this picture speak whatever it needs to say.

Do you have paper and some pens, markers, crayons, etc.?  Tell the story that must be told.

Peace,
Dean
