The stories of the later parts of Jesus' life start to hint at the danger ahead of him. In the reading from Luke, he is warned to leave town, as Herod is trying to kill him. Jesus responds with a metaphor of love - of how he'd wanted to gather God's people like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.
Does this image of God's love spark your imagination? Are there ways to be open to new ways to visualize God's love so that they refresh you in times of uncertainty?
Come along to worship with us if you can, and stay after the service for refreshments and a little conversation.
