Bible

Pentecost teaches us that being extravagantly God-intoxicated leads us to the awareness that all humanity is (to use Martin Luther King’s phrase) one “Beloved Community”.

Greater unity among Christians won’t be a magic bullet, it’s a good first step, however.

Jesus grants peace to those who follow him

he instructs his disciples to be as ‘little children’ to love one another

When we face challenges, we can remember that God is our shepherd

encounters with Jesus can come unexpectedly both at times of crisis and in moments of calm.
