You Tube Theology

The lectionary epistle for the Second Sunday before Lent is Romans 8.18–25—often called the pinnacle of the New Testament.

In a theological rich, carefully structure passage, Paul explores the hope that we long for, and with us, all creation—something that we have already begun to experience in Jesus now, but whose full realisation will come when Jesus returns.

It is not only sparkling theology, but practical pastorally too, as it makes sense of our experience of both the wonders of the love of God, and the frustration we feel that there is so much yet to come.
