Mind the Gap

February 28, 2021

Rev. Dr. David Mingus

Sermon from Hooker/Tyrone UMC, Sunday, Feb 28, 2021 Mind the Gap Mark 8:31-38 Theme: Jesus is God with us, the God who comes close to us. But at crucial moments, Jesus is also at a great distance from us. Jesus reveals God to us but also shows the difference between God and us. Sometimes Jesus stands against us. Jesus is God’s great bridge to us. He’s also God’s great distance from us. There is a gap between God and us. That gap has a face, a name: Jesus. Discipleship is risking that gap so that we might be brought close to the true, untamed, living God.
