Sunday Sermon Notes

Low Sunday

John 20:19-31

under the porch she

went, hiding

from a whipping

she told the story

and my

boys smiled—imagining

pastor-girl tucked

away, safe

from switch and

lashing tongue.

but dread hid

with her

and she spoke

of disciples behind

locked doors, hiding

too.

until he came.

put your hand in

my side, he said.

and everything

changed.

His peace changes

a most difficult

situation, she said. What

would happen if

you allowed Jesus

to slip into the

middle

of it?

and he slipped

in

the

middle of it.

‘cause boys’ eyes

were glued and I was

grateful for a

good story, whipping

or no.
