Interesting conversation in a class today. We were asked to talk with a colleague about who Jesus is to us, today. Being as I'm an intentional thinker and responder and was caught off guard by the question, I had to take some time to think about it. Life has been good of late - we have another beautiful daughter, Clara Joan Garton, who was born Feb. 16. Two days after her birth, we learned that we're headed to Region 3 of the ELCA for my first call (North Dakota, South Dakota or Minnesota) - a region we'd like to be. So for now, I'm of the mindset that I'm seeing/experiencing Jesus post-resurrection right now. I don't feel strongly called to the cross today. That's not to say that I don't make many trips there when I'm struggling - but I am feeling good in my current empty tomb experience.
So I wonder: who is Jesus for you today? Is he a close friend, an enemy, a superhero, something else? How does Jesus fit into your life now?
