Frustration and Freedom
We are set free from the power of sin and death, and from the need to perform flawlessly all the Commandments prescribed by the law, but we are not set free to do whatever we want. We are now constrained by the law of Love, and that very limitation is the space of our freedom, because it is the space of the Holy Spirit, who is always free.
James Weldon Johnson – A Life of Service
Mr Johnson’s words and work, I believe, embody the wisdom in Paul’s Letter to The Ephesians. Paul reminds us: “For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
God’s Voltas: Creating Love Within and Beyond Life’s Limitations
Today’s sermon is about how limitations can become sacred sites of liberation. Limitations may be what we are born into: a body, a family, a society, a time in history. Limitations we had no choice but to live within. Limitations may be imposed upon us by principalities and powers over which we have no control. Limitations, innate and imposed, can be both frustrating and liberating.
