Ἐλέησον
Come, enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you. Ἐλέησον, ἐλέησον, ἐλέησον.

Last week, I went to my cousin’s child’s baptism. Our family descended en masse to their local Methodist church, to watch as our first family member of a new generation was welcomed into a much larger family.
It seems that the golden thread linking today’s readings is God’s grace in creation. From the Hebrew Bible, we hear of Adam and Eve’s creation as a gift for the human, from the Epistle, we hear of humanity’s creation as little lower than angels, from the gospel we hear again of the creation in Genesis and of the grace of Kingdom that is received only through our created nature as children.
