Accepted: Fifth Sunday of Easter

Jesus tells us he is going to prepare a place for us and he is the way. Contrary to what we might first think, this is not an exclusionary invitation but a wide welcome to God’s love, mercy and abundance. What do you think heaven is like? Perhaps a little crowded, full of folks that annoy and frustrate us- but maybe by then we will be full of patience and grace. Today we celebrate all are accepted, even us on our grumpy days.

Accompanying Scripture:
Peter 2:2-10, Psalm 146, John 14:1-14
