St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - Weekly Talks

The Prologue of St. John's Gospel provides an overture, cluing his readers into the rich, thematic tapestry to be unwrapped: Life, light and darkness, grace, truth and glory, for example. Verses 1 and 18 provide bookends to which he drops thematic hints to be discovered throughout his unique story of Jesus. John is the one who laid his head on the breast of Jesus, a similar image taken from the pre-incarnate origins of the divine Logos ... in the bosom or womb of the Father. The Word was made flesh in order to draw us all back to our origins in the Father's heart, the womb of the Father. In this intimate place, we find rest for our souls, we find our destiny in Christ, in communion with God and all the company of heaven!
