Edwina Gateley Encountering God in the Modern World Part 2

Send us Fan MailEpisode 320Speaker James FinleyTopic : Spiritual Guidance in the Contemplative Tradition. Part 1.John 17:21–26 is one of the most remarkable passages in the New Testament because Jesus’ final prayer before his arrest is not primarily about the Church becoming successful, powerful, or even doctrinal uniform.                                          It is a prayer that humanity may rediscover the unity that already exists in God.Humanity is created in the imago Dei, the image of God, our deepest identity is not competition, domination or fear. Our deepest identity is relational.We come from love, live within love, and are invited to become love.That makes Jesus' prayer in John 17 much bigger than a prayer for Christian unity.It becomes a prayer for the healing and restoration of the human family.We gradually discover that the life in God is not something we must achieve in order to keep God happy ;  it is something we are invited to receive and allow to grow within us so that Gods Human family can find happiness, and taste our deepest desire today. Every Blessing to you and yours Archie and Cathy
