Day 352 and despite my best attempts I'm not getting these blogs in on a daily basis.
Sorry folks. I've failed at doing a daily blog for 365 days.
I've failed ....but ..... I'm not a failure.
If you were at Redeemer's Church on Sunday you would be familiar with this phrase.
It will come online [www.redeemerschurch.com and hit Sunday messages].
It was me one of the newest Christmas thoughts I'd had for a few years. We can learn how to be fully human from the fully human Son of Man.
The Son of Man (the title Jesus most went by) teaches us how to fail gracefully.
Yep...... read that again.....I did use the word "fail" with regards to Jesus.
And, at present I'm still employed and not fired due to heresy.
Listen to the message .....maybe even listen to it twice and then blog comments welcome.

I really appreciated the sermon you're referencing. I've thought a lot about failure, and about failing gracefully, and understanding that failure isn't related to sin.
I've had people around me fail, and I've seen the way they've let it crush them, and made them feel worthless, causing them to give up. If only they understood that this feeling of crushing defeat and abandonment and failure is exactly what Christ experienced... if only they knew that this weakness is what places them in the center of God's hand...
There's a great book titled, "The Gospel According to Job" that touches on this topic quite a bit. Every page moves me to tears, because it speaks to that part of you that fears to fail, fears to be fully human in front of others. If you're interested, let me know. I'll lend you my copy.
Dear Scottish Pastor,
Your Sunday message isn't online ???
Sincerely Interested :)
