God’s Passionate Love

God’s Passionate Love

April 14, 2019 Rev. George Adamik

On Palm Sunday (Sunday of the Passion), the Rev. George Adamik reflects on the word “passion” and God’s steadfast love (Luke 22:14-23:56): “Often times, when we hear the word ‘passion’ — the Passion of Christ — it may bring to mind the suffering of Jesus, this violent death, this beating, the crown of thorns, rejection, hurt… And many would say Jesus did that for me; because Jesus did that, I’m saved. It’s a very common understanding, an ancient understanding. But at times, it presents the idea that somehow God the Father didn’t like us very much, that God the Father needed a sacrifice to love us again. I want to offer another lens to look at this word ‘passion’ — a minority opinion in the history of Christianity. It speaks to me, and I think it’s very Episcopalian.”
