Brewing Theology With Teer

November 15, 2020Ephesians 4:1-16The unity we see is already present.The peace we long for is here.The absence of division and fraction is here.It is just like Jesus says it is, like a treasure hidden in a field, buried in your backyard. Just because you do not realize it’s there. Just because you refuse to believe it’s there. Just because you won’t risk looking like a fool and go digging up your yard it t doesn’t mean it’s not there. It does not mean it’s not real and true. It doesn’t mean you are not already sitting on a fortune and could be living out of those riches.This realization can be a “monumental, historic, scary, and angst-filled” moment. The release of agency is not something we have been trained or formed to do outside of the church. And frankly, with the focus more on division as of late, the Church has allowed this “monumental, historic, scary, and angst-filled” shift to fall by the wayside, allowing us to become dismissive of the history, traditions, and rituals that have set the church apart
