~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Bible Sunday
Brothers and Sisters,
This Sunday we celebrate Bible Sunday, this superb story-book, full of exciting tales well told. But it is more than just a collection of stories – there is one big story told by the whole collection of individual stories. At the centre of the big story is God and what he is doing with the world and the human race.
The Bible does not simply tell this story in a detached way, as a historian might. It is written to invite those who hear its message to respond to Jesus too. It is a testimony to what God has done in history and what God will yet do. Reading the Bible is like receiving an invitation to a party – it seeks our response!
Whilst the Bible can and does speak powerfully to those who are exploring or new to faith, perhaps the key to today is a reminder that for the community of faith, the Bible calls us back time and time again to who we are meant to be. We rediscover how to live life committed to justice, we are clothed to rejoice and we are re-orientated to seeing the signs of God’s fruitfulness in the world.
Love & prayers,
Sheila Bradley
