Genesis 18:14 'Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son.’
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
The Easter season rolls on. And we read from Genesis a part of the story of the angel announcing to Abraham and Sarah that they will have a child - while both are well past the age of child-bearing. And the angel responds to Sarah's laughter: "Is anything too wonderful for the Lord?"
Indeed. Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? The Lord who raised Jesus from the dead... the risen Lord who revealed himself to his disciples as they broke bread together... the Lord who conquered death and the devil forever... is anything too wonderful for the Lord?
What's your deepest longing? What is that thing you long for but don't even dare to speak out loud because it sounds too ridiculous? Reconciliation with a family member? A job? Retirement? Peace on the face of the earth?
Go ahead. Speak it. Is anything too wonderful for the Lord?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
