For the Life of the World: Eucharist and the "Real World" - August 18, 2024
Manage episode 434899430 series 3419344
Fr. Jon Ziegler preaches about the eucharist, food, and sex (through the lens of John 6 and Genesis 2-3) with a little help from our E. Orthodox friend, Father Alexander Schmemann. Basically, how do we receive all of creation from the Creator--as something that is blessed and given for us to commune with God--and not just something that is ours for the taking. Is it possible that "earthly" and "physical" things like sex and food were not supposed to be ends in themselves--but meant as communion with God and meant to point us to him and to his love? What does it mean when Jesus says, "I am the bread of life, and the bread that I give FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD is my flesh."
