Thursday, Advent Two - Anxiety & Freedom
“Where the God of the gospel comes, lives are transformed and we have the freedom and courage to live a self-surrendering life, and we do so in gladness. Jesus always comes and says, ‘Fear not’, and invites us to fall back and trust, so safe, so valorized that we need not think about ourselves. He comes and says, ‘My peace I give you.’ Fear is indeed cast out.“
Walter Brueggemann, A Gospel of Hope, page 36.
