Narrative Lectionary Reflection for the Fourth Sunday of Easter, Year Three, May 7, 2017
Are you ready, really ready, to let God use you and your gifts and talents for the sake of the world? Not everyone is called to be a deacon like Philip or Stephen. Very few of us will experience a radical Damascus road change like Saul. But we can say yes to God’s movement and bidding in our lives, however that might manifest itself. It could mean a change of vocation, responding to a call to serve God in ministry. It might mean learning to share the good news and interpret scripture for coworkers in the office or strangers on the train. Maybe it could be as simple as opening your home to your neighbors for dinner and conversation. Are you ready? (Photo: Creative Commons)
