Last week was Holy Trinity Sunday. We honored and glorified the True Triune God. Triune means three in one. We have three “persons” but only one God. This is a mystery beyond our understanding. But the lesson it teaches us, we can understand. We learn from the Holy Trinity the lesson of unity and community. We are created in the image of God, so we are created for unity and community, sharing the love of God.
Today we learn that God calls ordinary people to step out in faith and follow where God leads. Both readings for today teach us about a moving, active faith. But not because we have all the answers but that we can trust in God and take the next step. They also reveal a God who welcomes the outsider, meets people in their need, offers new beginnings, and calls us to live lives marked by mercy, compassion, and courageous discipleship.
