Being Coloured In
•
John Hebenton
We watched the movie on resurrection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRCFgDTqYbY)
What does it mean to be coloured in?
Easter is about salvation. But what does that mean? John explores how the ancient church saw salvation as cleaving to God as those loved by God, as a child “cleaves” to her mother.
- How do we respond to that?
- with where are we in this story?
We then reaffirmed our baptismal vows as a statement that our self identity and self worth is found in the God who is love, who loves us as something of great worth and dignity by an act of such self giving, and who through this gives us the grace to love God in like fashion.
