HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (May 4, 2025)
Sunday Reflection upon Revelation 5:1-14
The book of Revelation starkly warns us of our inherent bent toward corruption on personal and social levels. In Revelation, ‘beastly’ images symbolize earthly systems of economics and politics that oppress the poor and most vulnerable while enriching and empowering the rich and most powerful who use violence to control others. The Book of Revelation cries out: Who is Worthy? Who is worthy to open the seal of judgment, a symbol of divine authority and justice, upon this world’s unjust, unfair systems? The one worthy to open the seal is not the world’s most powerful or politically well-placed; rather, the one worthy to open the seal of judgment is the one who became human and suffered, a stark contrast to the corrupt systems.
Revelation’s judgment is primarily directed at those who misuse their power and privilege. However, the ultimate judge is the one who never exploited his power or position for personal gain: Jesus, ‘the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.’ How will we, as individuals, and our society as a whole, stand before him? Will we be able to justify our actions? The book of Revelation calls us to turn away from violence, malice, greed, prejudice, and hatred, and instead, embrace the core values of love and kindness. Let this be our inspiration, hope, and guiding light: The path of the one slain from the foundation of the world.’
Prayer for the Week (May 4-May 10, 2025)
Let us pray that our lives respond to God’s love: God, source of all love, you have made your love visible to us in the life, death, and message of your Son and our brother Jesus Christ. May our life be a visible statement that we love you in return. Help us echo your love by caring for our brothers and sisters with a love freely given, even when it is unanswered. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
