Trinity 9 (Year A) - 2 August

Jesus does the miracle.

Our job is to bring things to Jesus and then distribute the fruits of his miracle.

You know, we're stage two and stage four.

He is stage three.

That is the crucial part of the story.

And then you can say, let's look at the whole story of the Bible, particularly if you take a view, a theological view that I struggle with, that the Fall is sort of dete- determinative.

But, you know, you start with the scarcity of the Fall in chapter one.

In chapter five, you have the abundance of heaven.

Two and four are Israel and the Church, Old Testament and New Testament, and bang in the middle is Jesus.
