I've been introduced to Sara, who has become our leader of Saturday meditations at Grace Church, Washington, DC. I have found her understanding of the Christian message refreshing and useful as a vehicle for greater depth in what we believe.
So, I'm including discussions at the luncheon she has originated and carried forth, when the points she makes are of value in my spiritual journey.
I start off with the comment she made recently that Jesus' emphasis on the power of love has universal application to our relationships with others and with God Himself--what He referred to a His list of 2 religious commandments. I raised my hand to make the comment that Jesus' understanding as to the universality of love in structuring our daily relationships with one another may indeed signify the Greek philosophical idea of love as an ultimate universal principle of the cosmos. In that vein, what binds physical elements is love as the force of attraction, or as we might infer, as the power of gravity. In this way, truly, LOVE is the bind that unites all peoples and other animate creatures and all inanimate objects throughout the universe.
