Matthew 18

On the Annual Conference blog, Living Stones, an exercise from the meeting of Congregational Developers was described. Try this --

Read Matthew 18. Describe the theme of the passage and then list 3 or 4 words which support it.

Here's mine:

Theme: Loving Grace
Words of Support: Forgive, Change (transformation), Search

I'm not sure that those are the words I really mean, but what occurs to me as I read it is that we are loved so much by God that he will seek us out, he will forgive us, even when our sins are beyond measure, he will save us from ourselves.

We are called to a love like that.
