Tim Reardon's sermon this week follows on the heels of his sermon on Radical Imagination two weeks ago: our call to completion in the love of God of Matthew 5:48. This love is, and emanates from, God. We are loved, meant to be loved, and return fully into that love. We do not know love completely, but we strive after it, imagine it, dwell in it, yield to it, are formed by it. Our completion is tied to God's complete love.
And while we know Matthew 38-48, the admonition to turn the other cheek and love our enemies, as a call to action — today we'll look at this as a call to a disposition, a posture, an imagination that sees each other and the world in light of God's love; in light of the God who sends rain on the just and the unjust — a scandalous statement if we we really think about it.
