Reshith, Exitus, and Reditus

The homily Saturday night was long and confusing. So I rewrote it for Sunday morning such that it would merely be long. 😂😅 (Actually, it is only 11 minutes.) The three great Paulines hymns—the captivity letters' hymns—give us a great chance to ponder God's story, as opposed to the story of the People of God which we normally do. And the Colossians hymn is a chance to look inside Paul's fascinating Hebrew-Greek brain and to watch him meditate and riddle and play around with the idea of who the Word made flesh is.
