The God of all comfort
In the face of tragedy, we remain a resurrection people

Bishop Davis
Other columns by Bishop Davis
The Sunday after the horrific shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, I preached in the Cannon Chapel at Emory University.

Here is an excerpt from my sermon:

God is with us this morning -- nothing can separate us from God's love and presence.

God is here to comfort us -- to offer healing and hope to our wounded spirits.

God is here to remove any bitterness, any anger, hatred, or fear, so that we might be restored and re-filled with God's peace.

When all the world is crashing down around us, God's grace will remain steadfast.

Place your trust in the Lord who will wipe away every tear!

We are a resurrection people!

The same God who blew the world wide open at Easter, defeating death and darkness, will shower unmerited grace and unlimited hope on us this day.


For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 NRSV)
