4-28 Carried Away

Thoughts:

I love the idea that this exuberant court official teaches Philip something about recognizing joy and possibility. “What is to prevent us?” he asks.

Probably a great opportunity to ask what we allow to block that realization in our lives. That’s where the mention of justice becomes important. By looking at Jesus’ experience we can see where our basest behaviors stand in the way, however ineffectually, of God’s promised grace.

* The mention of “being on the way to Gaza” during the current 2023 military incursion into that area of the world really woke me up the kinds of things we do that keep us from going down into the water to be made new.
