Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The kingdom of God is unpredictable. From our perspective, anyway. Because that means I'm not in control. That's what Jesus is teaching in the parables we heard today. Sometimes you are surprised. Sometimes what you get is unexpected, and so unpredictable. The alternative, then, is to live by faith, not sight. But to live by faith is to admit and acknowledge that I am not in control. Faith in the words and promises of God.
