I have been to the Holy Land. Six years ago, the clergy of the Diocese of Saskatoon went together on a pilgrimage to see the land where Jesus lived and taught. I saw for myself how much of Jerusalem can be seen from the Mount of Olives and whether the Jordan is a rushing river or a flowing stream. I saw the physical land around Tiberias where tradition holds that Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount (according to Matthew) or the Sermon on the Plain (according to Luke). It is the same sermon recorded in three of the gospels and in my mind there is a difference between a mountain and a plain.

There have been a few glitches in my life this week. I won’t list them, but I was unexpectedly called to preach this morning because of illness. So in full disclosure, I have borrowed a large portion of this morning’s message, written by Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor,in her book “Home by Another Way” pp 39-41.
Have you ever had a day when no matter what you tried, you could not get your work done? A day when all your plans and schemes and lists and organization skills were in place and still, at the end of the day, you had nothing to show for all your hard work? Do you remember the feelings you felt? Were you discouraged, frustrated, angry and tired? Were there other people depending on you and so they felt let down? Our failures often have a domino effect on other folks. That is what has happened to Simon and James and John and unnamed others…the village fishermen…when they pushed their boats onto Lake Gennesaret to go fishing.

Faith, hope and love abide, these three, but the greatest of these is Love. Faith, hope and love…these three remain…outlast all other things, but the greatest of these is Love. These words are beautiful words, familiar words. They hold a truth that most of us appreciate and value. The truth is that love is very powerful.
L-O-V-E is one of the most over used words in our English language. We use the word Love to describe the things in our life for which we feel passion and there is quite a range of things that we love. We love certain foods, sports, activities, books and of course, people. I love chocolate and I love my family but the two feelings are hardly comparable. And yet we use the same four letter word to describe them both.
