Moment for Reflection: Jesus is Lord
This is a brief reflection in the wake of this week's elections. As you read this, it seems likely that you might celebrate some of what took place and also wish that some things had turned out differently. Or perhaps you watched with a sense of cynicism, feeling that no matter what the results turned out to be, no positive change will occur.
In the midst of all of those thoughts, I want to share this: Jesus is Lord. Jesus remains Lord no matter what political party has power. Because this is true, we are tapped into something deeper and fuller than any political power. We are tapped into the infinite love of God.
Now, this doesn't mean that we aren't engaged in the world. We need to be. Our Lord Jesus came to bring good news to the poor and oppressed and we who bear his name must follow his example. But even this need to be engaged is the result of that deeper connection we have to the divine.
So remember. Jesus is Lord, today and all days.
God's peace be with you always.
