Release and Renew:
The Fifth Living Word: Vision
“I thirst.”—John 19:28 (RSV)
Following Jesus’ journey into new life, we come to the 5th Living Word: Vision. Jesus said, “I thirst.” Obviously, this was a statement of fact as anyone in Jesus’ situation, dehydrated and in physical pain, would be thirsty. The greater Truth teaches us that we all thirst to know God in a deeper way. We all want to taste the living waters of Spirit and Truth.
Spirit is the well-spring of eternal life that we all seek. There are times on our journey when we want it more than others. Sometimes it is when we think we have reached a plateau and are ready for the next teaching. Other times it is when we are so sick and tired of being sick and tired and we have nowhere else to turn but to God. We are either pushed by pain
or pulled by a vision.
Whether you have a clear vision or not, God has a plan for your life that is greater than how you are currently living. Our work is to discern God’s vision and allow it to come forth. Releasing the pain and renewing our vision is the way to new life.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday. As we reflect on Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we affirm our victory over our challenges and strive toward a new vision. On his way through the crowds, many were nervous that he was causing too much of a spectacle and that trouble was sure to follow.
From the gospel of Luke, “Some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, ‘I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.’”
Jesus’ clarity about his birthright was never in doubt. All of Creation was behind him, supporting and propelling him forward. As you and I follow the indwelling Christ, we too find ourselves living life beyond our wildest dreams. God’s vision for each of us, for our ministry, and for our world is pulling us into the love, light, and freshness of the living waters.
In love and unity,
Rev Bodhi
Prayer. In the shadow of the two mass shootings in the past week, I share this Metta Prayer from Jack Kornfield to bring us all back into Truth.
May all Beings be free from danger.
May all Beings one free from hate.
May all Beings be free from suffering.
May all Beings be protected and safe.

Elena Sher, A Course in Miracles Facilitator
A Course in Miracles: Foundation for Inner Peace
A Course in Miracles defines "miracle" as the conscious choice
to make that mind shift.
A Course in Miracles purpose is to guide us to a state of deep peace,
no matter what experiences we go through.
This book teaches us how to trade Fear for Love, Peace and Joy and to tap into the guidance and wisdom of our spirit. Its major focus, unlike other spiritual practices, is on healing relationships.
This approach is the fastest way to heal body,
mind and heart, resulting in a life of fulfillment.
This famous spiritual text is studied by many of the greatest spiritual leaders in the world today, including Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Willamson, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra,
and the late Dr. Wayne Dyer.
Please join Elena Sher every Thursday at 10:00 am in God's Garage at Unity of Jupiter, and keep an eye open on Unity of Jupiter's
Facebook for live streaming!
With over 20 years studying and teaching A Course in Miracles,
