Walter Brueggemann on Psalm 31 and Steadfast Love
November 13, 2009
Walter Brueggemann is a recently discovered voice of inspiration. This sermon was given at Duke University Chapel on May 15th 2009. I cannot help but be laid bare by this sermon. I love it. This is the work I’ve done for two years, this is what I hope I am like someday when i’m all grown up.
I think Bruegemman is exactly right when he mentions that this is not an ordinary life, it is a life of yieldedness, of faithfulness and waiting. It is a life of trust, of candor and of suffering. The Christian life is extraordinary.
My favorite lines from the homily:
“My Times are in your hands”
“She tastes the bread and it [The Bread of the Eucharist] tastes like faithfulness”
What do you think of this? Any responses?
