Wherever you are on the road, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are on the road with you. It is the road Jesus made. He is the road, and he is on the road with us as well—all of us. The road is our home. And you know what is so beautiful about this? All of our roads intersect here at Epiphany.

My brothers and sisters, as Christians, Jesus will ask us to do what appears to be impossible. In the kingdom of God, we are called to deny our self-importance and live for the sake of the other. Here, we ask God, how can we be a blessing to someone today? How can we offer support to the mournful and those in distress? How can we improve the quality of somebody’s life?

“I believe a time is opening in front of us where barriers are coming down, veils are being lifted, and the gates of heaven are swinging open, beckoning us to come through. For some of us this will feel like an invasion. For some of us this will feel like a visitation. For some of us this will sound crazy. And for others of us it will sound like an invitation, and I hope that is the case for you.”

You see, the Book Judges is a tragic tale like King Lear. It turns out that the Greek translation for the word tragedy is “goat story.” Weird, huh? A tragedy is the story of a goat’s life according to the Greeks. Here is why: when you let a goat loose, it goes to the top of a hill and then wanders back and forth across the hill as it eats its way to the bottom. It lets gravity be its guide, in a slow, unconscious act of consumption, as it sleepwalks its way down the hill.

Jesus gives us keys to walk through a door into a space that is bigger than the one we left behind, and, how in this space we have the power to bind what is bad and to loose what is good. This process of binding and loosing starts with how we see a situation.

I do believe that it’s hard to hear God clearly, to discern God’s call to us in the midst of the noise and busyness and distraction of our everyday lives. Like Elijah, we can’t hear God in the drama of the wind and the earthquake and the fire. It is only in the sheer silence that God’s voice or presence is able to be discerned.

Being a Christian is all about community. It is about living your life the way Jesus would live it if he were you. And I believe that means praying for the girls in Nigeria, praying for their loved ones, and praying for their captors. It means writing or calling lawmakers. It means recognizing injustices in this world both abroad and in our very own backyard and having the courage to speak out. What today’s reading from Acts is talking about is this, living in Christian community.
