  1. As astounding as co-eternity and co-equality with the Father in majesty and glory is, this is not the most significant answer Jesus gave in this Gospel reading, not for us at least.
  2. Pentecost is a flashback. It drives us back to the past. It also propels us forward into the future.
  3. The thrill of God’s grace fades and the slow march toward the cross dulls the heart. At such times, the former life beckons. Temptations to return grow strong. Which makes Lent such an important annual exercise.
  4. The vinedresser refused to give up on his unfruitful tree. He put himself between it and the judgment it deserved, serving as mediator and caretaker.
  5. Jesus' course led from death into life, as He had promised. And He promises to lead us on that same course from death to life, from lament to joy.
