Thursday, July 19, 2012 – Proper 11/Ordinary 16, Year B
Ephesians 2:19-22 – So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
Earlier this week, we wondered what it would be like to have God contained in a vessel and with us at all times. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul is telling them that they, the people of God, are now the ark. We are the ark.
Prayer: Creator God, may each person we see today see your face reflecting back toward them. AMEN.
