With This Baptism and This Cup

With This Baptism and This Cup

Date:10/20/24

Passage: Mark 10:35-45

Speaker: The Rev. Dr. Lauren R.E. Larkin

When the kingdom of humanity argues about greatness, the disciples of Christ—those baptized into and who drink from the wine-cup of the new covenant of the reign of God—go in the opposite direction: they love where there is indifference, liberate where there is captivity, bring life where there is death, serve those denied service, and see the power of peace of divine equity that triumphs over the security manufactured by the kingdom of humanity.
