I Love to Tell the Stories

Have you noticed when we come to this time in the Church Year, we seem focus on telling stories – the story of Passover, of the valley of dry bones, of the Last Supper, of the Crucifixion, of the empty tomb, of the road to Emmaus, of Christ’s appearance to Thomas and the Twelve, of the breakfast Christ prepares at the lakeshore…? It seems that theological discourse and confessional propositions are inadequate for capturing the mysteries which fill this season. We push it all aside, sit back, and tell the stories of our tradition.
