5-15-16: The Tongue of Tongues

Scripture reading: Genesis 11:1, 4-9; Acts 2:1-13

Pentecost has many dimensions, but surely one of the greatest is the good news of human unity. Jesus Christ came to us, was crucified, rose, ascended, and sent his Spirit in order to overcome not just the barrier between us and God, but also the barriers between human beings, including those of different cultures, languages, and ethnicities. The miracle of the tongues at Pentecost means the end of our humanly created inability to understand, accept, and affirm one another. The tongues of all tongues is the agape love incarnate in Christ.

See you Sunday!
