’And they all murmured, ‘Jesus has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.’ Luke 19:7 Sermon Theme For faith to be active in love, we need to meet the “Living Jesus,” not some relic from the distant past. During Epiphany I will try to help us capture a glimpse of Jesus through the experiences of some of those to whom he ministered. Jesus’ power transformed them and it can transform us as well. This morning we focus on one kind of experience: Exalting Humility.
