November 21, 2021 // Eternity Sunday // Garden Tomb

WildWords: Sermons from Wildwood Mennonite Church

This week, our delightful journey through the gospel of John's "Garden of Joy" brings us to... the cross? Yes, "there was a garden in the place where Jesus was crucified" (John 19:41)--the pain and trauma and grief of such a horrific event is right there in between the beautiful words of comfort and inspiration. Does this mean for us, on Eternity Sunday, that our grief and pain and trauma also belong, that we will not be crushed by them, that we can together make space for even the worst of endings and trust that this, too, shall somehow be transformed into new life? Come and see.
