Book: 1 & 2 Peter

The stories of Moses, Elijah and Jesus on various mountain tops reveals a process of God’s self-revelation as the one who loves us and suffers for us.

Jesus offers himself to the world from a vulnerable place on the margins, and he calls us to trust the Holy Spirit and do likewise.

We have a distinct and privileged identity as God’s chosen people, but it does not turn us away from other people, but leads us to offer ourselves to and for them that all may share in the grace that has made us who we are.

United with Christ in baptism we cross the threshold from death to life, and in Eucharist we continue to touch the scars which nourish our faith and inspire our worship.

Violence must be a constant temptation for God, but in absolute love, God has vowed never to resort to it.

There is no hell where the love of God in Christ cannot reach us.

The way to enter the life of God is found in Jesus, in relationship with the incarnate life of God.

From the desire of a baby for the breast, we can learn a lot about our need of God’s nurture.

Christ has come that we might have fullness of life, and it has cost him dearly.
