Beautiful
Our culture has a particular definition of what counts as beautiful, a carefully constructed image into which nearly no body fits. Much as in the days of the early church, the powers that be have a vested interest in controlling our bodies. When Peter and John heal a lame man in Acts, the Jerusalem establishment reacts with fear and violence. When we learn why this healing was such a threat, we find a vision for a Church that embraces bodies of all shapes, sizes, color, and more.

Jesus’ disciples often asked him when his Kingdom would come in full, when this new life he always talked about would arrive.

It’s an active, intentional patience. So how do we wait well?
