Thoughts from yesterday’s 4
th
Sunday of the Easter Season
In yesterday’s Gospel reading (John 10:1-10), “through the gate” is mentioned three times. Jesus clarifies: “I am the gate” (7). When put together, the “I am…” and “through the Gate” …we can see life as
within
the Gate.
We are hidden in the wonder and unity of the Brilliant Risen Christ. The hidden life with God within Jesus the Gate may be the forever-transforming space. Living the hidden life within the Gate may mean we exist, live, love from within a forever transforming space – within the Gate whether in this life or the next.
Imagining Christ as the Gate, we are en-wrapped by the Spirit in a forever transformation. LOVE is so powerfully and softly dynamic, without pause She gives. We accept,
transforming
gently in her swirl without end.
Be alert to being within the Gate this very second with every breath, every cell turnover, every neuron firing, every bird flying, every petal on every flower, every bloom, every sun ray, on every fish scale, every whale call, in the endless patterns of life, all an endless variety through which to experience the Gate, as we live the hidden life.
With praise and joy in the now, may you experience being within the Gate of Love, the Risen Christ. Halleluiah!
