Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Phillip A. Jackson: “God’s Shocking Love”

It’s easy to see ourselves as the center of the story, to distance ourselves from others based on stereotypes, differences, and appearances. But when it comes to heaven, preaches Father Phil Jackson, we may be surprised by who’s included. We may even be shocked by the “great multitude” described in the Book of Revelation — people “from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages” embraced by God’s saving love.
