Many, many times you have heard me say from this pulpit something about “taking seriously what Jesus took seriously.” And from time to time some of you have asked me what I mean by that. Simply put, Jesus was someone who had a profound relationship with his God, and he lived his life exemplifying that relationship, and he taught others about that intimate bond. It is sometimes said that all the Church wants to talk about is Jesus, and all Jesus wanted to talk about was God. When I take seriously what Jesus took seriously I am being intentional about what Jesus can teach me about my relationship to my God.
