Sunday Service - 6/19/11 - Sam Wells

A service of worship in Duke University Chapel. The Reverend Dr Samuel Wells delivers a sermon entitled "Everything's Relative." Opening excerpt from the sermon: (28:36) "I want to tell you about three people I've talked to recently whose lives I find instructive.The first is Baxter. Baxter's a pilot. His life as an undergraduate was a daily process of trying to hold together his increasing confidence in his own skill and future in the air force and his chronically burdensome and embarrassing family relationships. He couldn't invite his father to his graduation because he couldn't trust him to behave, he hasn't seen his elder sister for years because her mental health has been so up and down, and he longs to be able to communicate with his younger sister but she seems to feel he's betrayed the family by moving away to go to college and graduate school. The one thing he adores is to strap himself into the cockpit of his plane, and head up into the freedom of the open skies and the far horizon. That feels like the only place in the world where he can relax and where his chaotic family can't poison his life." Closing excerpt from the sermon: (46:59) "John the Evangelist, the author of the Fourth Gospel and the three letters of John and the Book of Revelation,lived out his days on the island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea. One day, one of his followers came and spoke to him. "Master," he said, "Tell me one thing. I've always wondered, why is it that you always write about love? Why don't you ever write about anything else?" St John paused for a very long time, waiting for his disciple to work out the answer for himself. Finally, he answered the question. "Because," he said, "In the end, there isn't anything else. There is only love." Only love, all the way down. Only companionship with us, all the way down. Only relationship, in the very heart of the Trinity. In the end, that's all there is. All the way down."
