Opening Our Eyes, The Poor

November 09, 2010, In the News (Nation, World) (80)

Posted by Wallace+

In a recent Word from Grace Street, I reflected on what we see and what we don't see, praying that God would open our eyes.

This image brought that same challenge to mind.

Yes. Lord. Pray, open our eyes.

Amen, amen.

Word from Grace Street: Open Our Eyes

October 20, 2010, History (23)

Posted by Kimberly Allen

In today's Word from Grace Street, Wallace+ tells the story of "the first known contact between Europeans and Australia's Aborigines," in which the Aborigines ignored the approaching British ship.

"Only when the British sailors lowered their landing boats and began to paddle ashore did the Aborigines react, recognizing the British sailors as part of their reality--men."

This story prompts Wallace+ to wonder:

When do we fail to see something that is right before our eyes?

And when do we not see something because we are not looking for it, or because we have never even imagined it?

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
