“The Denial”
By J. Marshall Jenkins

“Woman, I know him not,” Peter replied
on behalf of us all. Give him credit:
He did not altogether lie. Who then
could claim to know Christ? Time and again
he worked wonders and forbade
the healed to tell, a futile command,
true, but to our eyes, it sufficed
to scatter him like jigsaw puzzle pieces.
It took his executioner, the one who broke
and scattered his body once and for all
to see him whole after the final throe:
“Surely this man was God’s Son!” Meanwhile,
Peter spoke for us all, for he knew him not,
nor do we, despite all the foretellings
on the road, despite minted, printed
Bibles we open in quiet hours
to review the passion, Christ’s, Peter’s, ours.
Christ’s death awakens us: Then we know him,
then we realize that it was ourselves
we did not know, it was he who knew us,
how we did not know what we were doing.

3-Look for ways to build relational bridges with Muslims in our community, earning the right to share God’s love in ours (cf. John 4:1–30, 39–42). We should be sensitive during Ramadan to the significance of these days and use them to engage Muslims by “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15).

A third victim has now died from last Sunday’s mass shooting in Austin, Texas. The FBI believe the attack may be related to terrorism. A very troubling aspect of this story is its possible connection to hardline Muslim clerics in the US who have been claiming that war between the US and Iran is pa...

“Faith means trusting that God is still good in the valley — even when the valley makes no sense.”

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
