Matthew 27:55-61
Matthew 27:55-61 reports the witness of Jesus' women followers to his passion and death. The sermon explores the meaning of this witness, which is located in being present with the suffering human Jesus, its relationship to the radical witness and presence of the incarnation. This ultimately reminds us that the church's coherence as a community of witness is grounded in the radical presence to and beyond death empowered by the living God and exemplified both by the women witnesses and the witness of the incarnate [crucified and risen] one.
