Fifth Sunday of Easter (Contemporary)
Many of us feel the tension—wanting to follow God fully, while still holding on to the life we want for ourselves. Can we live our way now and God’s way later?
Drawing from 1 Peter 2 and the witness of Saint Stephen, Rev. Jon Jordan reflects on the call to live a holy life now, not someday in the future. The Christian life is not about postponing obedience, but about stepping into the reality of who we already are in Christ: a chosen people, a royal priesthood, called out of darkness into marvelous light.
The invitation of the Gospel is not a loss of joy, but the discovery of it—both now and forever. To entrust our lives to God is to find the meaning, freedom, and joy we were made for.
📖 Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9–10
