Beyond Cynicism

May 26, 2024 • The Rev. Neal McGowan

Today we confront the ease of cynicism in our world, directed at politicians, religious leaders, and even corporations. This skepticism can spill over into our view of God, making it hard to trust in His goodness. Nicodemus, a powerful religious leader, grapples with this same doubt when he meets Jesus. Yet, Jesus invites him—and us—to embrace a childlike trust, to be born again into a new life of faith and love. Instead of responding with arguments or proof, Jesus offers the profound truth of God's love, urging us to move past our cynicism and into a trusting relationship with Him.
