WHERE IS JESUS? INTRODUCTION
It’s a timeless question, asked by children, adults and other seekers for 2000 years. Christians are defined by Christ’s Presence in the world. We pray: CHRIST HAS DIED. CHRIST IN RISEN. CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN. Past, present and future, from Biblical witness to Present Witness to Embodied Hope, we ask “Where is Jesus?” not just to KNOW something, but to EXPERIENCE that Presence in our faith, in our world and in our lives. “Where is Jesus?’ is not just a question among a million others we ask, like “Where are my car keys?” It is a question that has MATTERED to people who question and people of faith, in some unique ways, from our biblical ancestors, who waited for the Coming One, to all the founders of Christian communities, to the those who founded the Episcopal Church, to those who gather in His Name at St. Mark’s Fincastle today. But the question only matters if we move beyond asking, “Where is Jesus in History?” and “Where is Jesus in the Church?” to “Where is Jesus in my life?” We will engage this question from three Anglican/ Episcopal perspectives that undergird our Anglican/Episcopal Identity: SCRIPTURE, TRADITION and EXPERIENCE/REASON.
