Every week in the middle of the communion liturgy, we proclaim the mystery of the faith and recite these words: “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.” Sometimes I really need to be reminded that our faith is centered on a wonderful mystery, the mystery of how God became incarnate, humbled himself to die on a cross, was resurrected, and will return to make things right. It’s not the way anyone would predict God would save his people. And yet, that’s what he did. It helps to remember this when things aren’t working out as I expected. His character is to work things out in less than predictable ways.
this is my favorite part of the liturgy
