07-12-15 “A Cross-Shaped Calling” The Rev. Mark Avera

August 01, 2015

“The greatest of those born of woman.”  That’s what Jesus said about him.  Bold, and intimidating, he spoke to religious leaders, kings, and commoners alike.  He called a spade a spade.  He lived out his calling with courageous determination, but even he didn’t entirely understand the way he was preparing.  And what began in glorious acclaim ended in disillusionment, imprisonment and death.  John the Baptist: a man of the desert whose life pointed in singular fashion to Jesus.  John’s life reveals both the glorious potentials and hard realities of all identified with the Christ - for we are living letters, known and read by all around us.
