"God—seeing this fatal illness we had contracted, this sin-sickness that leads from death and leads to death—heard our weeping as an invitation, as creation groaning, 'Come and see.' So God came, and God saw. God responded to this invitation by stepping into our hostile, inhospitable space. Because the one God loved was sick." Note: Due to audio issues with the original recording, this week's sermon has been rerecorded for this podcast. So if the audio sounds strange--or if the language seems strangely specific to podcast listeners--that's why!
