Broken Signposts Part 4: Beauty
Sermon Scripture: John 11:38-44 (NRSV)
As we consider the resurrection of Lazarus this week, may this quote guide us us.
Our human drive for beauty, for transcendent meaning, turns out to be more than we ever expected. It is God-given: a signpost, designed to lead us back to his presence. Ah, we sigh, be it ends in darkness and horror, with the dust of death covering over the beauty in thick, choking layers of ugliness. Yes, says John, but see what the creator God now does. He makes a way through death and out the other side into new creation, new beauty, and life.”
-N.T. Wright, Broken Signposts (pg. 110)
