Last Sunday's sermon was one of those filled with Good News. Just another reason to enjoy the Church season of Advent.
But this one, spoken by our associate Rector, Fr. Bob, also included a special question that really grabbed me. He asked me this; If I was being tried for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence for a conviction?
Think about that!
There have been times and places where a trial like this was not uncommon. A conviction could mean death. Today, thankfully, maybe only in a few troubled spots in this world. And of course, I'm framing it here as if it were to be a persucution. But no.... not here. Not in this place. Not yet anyway.
No, a conviction here and now, does not mean a death sentence. Not even in a worldly sense.
No, a conviction on these charges means the exact opposite. The sentence for this conviction is life.
