Jesus ... bridge from flesh & blood to mystery

Morning: Psalms 107:33-43, 108:1-6; Jeremiah 23:9-15; Romans 9:1-18
Jesus is a leader who blows holes in your beliefs about life ... it’s hard to follow him.  Perhaps as a result, his followers are divided.  Many expect religion to be ‘spiritual’.  But John’s Gospel goes to great lengths to make clear that Jesus is earthy, God’s Word in flesh and blood.  One hard thing about Jesus is that he claims to be a bridge between this flesh and blood reality and the mystery of the Cosmos.  In effect, Jesus says: “Can you take in and accept who I am? If you do, your life will be extraordinary.”
