Jesus -
Proclaimer of good news and fulfiller of time.
You bring God’s reign to us - a reign that calls for repentance and belief in Your good news. May we repent…hear what You say to us today…and believe.
You pass along the water’s edge, see us in our ordinary lives, and invite us to follow You. May we immediately leave behind our ordinary lives and join You in the extraordinary work of being Your body on earth.
You go a little farther along the water’s edge, see those mending what is broken, and immediately call them to join You. May we be those menders You notice, and may we continue the mending work that Your disciples began.
In the name of our living God, we pray.
Amen.
