Christ's presence
Our arts and worship class pondered wisdom and the presence of wisdom. We looked at how Christ embodies wisdom. Here is a quote from "Becoming a Blessed Church" by N. Graham Standish that I'm thinking about this morning.
How do we preach Christ's presence? We do so by constantly and consistently saying to people, "Look, there's Christ in your midst, and there, and there, and there!" We do it by showing people that even if they are in darkness, they can find Christ's light shining through the love of a family member, the kindness of a friend, a phrase in a book, or the inspiration form a song. We can also preach Christ's presence by reminding people that Christ is in Scripture, in the sacraments, and in all of worship. We preach Christ's presence by pointing to the incarnation of Christ in everything: our sufferings, our joys, our relationships, and our hearts.
