‘What is God like? Part 3 - A strange kind of King’ by Claire Lynch - 20 November 2022
What kind of King is God? Claire Lynch asks if God really gives us free will or tries to manipulate and force us to obey, and punish us if we don't. If we can tell what God is like by looking at Jesus, his version of being a King seemed unexpected - instead of dominating by force, he emptied himself out in self-giving love and radical servanthood. Do we also carry this image of God in us? What does it mean for our lives if we embrace that, or if we don't? This talk concludes with a Lectio Divina meditation on Philippians 2:5-11.
