RCL Reflection for Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, Feb. 3, 2019.
The question for the church today is whether we are ready to embrace the radical and all-encompassing love of 1 Corinthians 13, to draw the circle of inclusion ever wider, and to see the face of Christ in all of our neighbors. Are we willing to speak prophetically to the powers that would divide us, the forces that would limit God’s goodness and mercy, and the people who would disagree with such radical love?
