Eastertide 2023: The Way Home

It seems as though we’re all born a long way from home. Perhaps it doesn’t feel this way in the innocence of childhood, but as we move into adulthood we begin to feel like strangers in a strange land, and we have to find where we belong, where we can be at home. We can feel like strangers within creation because we feel a certain estrangement from our Creator—God can seem distant, remote, unknowable, or to some, even nonexistent. This is part of the human experience; this is our predicament. But there is good news, and the good news is that Jesus is the way home.
