From Orphan to Heir
Sep 28, 2025 • The Rev. Ben Jones
Heritage, wealth and status cannot secure a place in God's family, as the rich man's confidence in being a child of Abraham shows. Lazarus, the rejected beggar, is carried to Abraham's side and welcomed as family. Rev. Jones describes the cross as God's adoption process and the Spirit of adoption as the ground of belonging, recalling being cut from a youth football team and being asked at a diocesan event what he was doing there.
