BULLETIN CONNECTION
The Colossus of Rhodes was a huge statue that stood at the entrance to the port of Rhodes in the Mediterranean. It was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. When the Statue of Liberty was erected in New York harbor, Emma Lazarus wrote a poem titled, "The New Colossus." In her vision, Liberty had supplanted the "storied pomp" of the past.
In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul suggests that, for the
Christian, our past lives have been supplanted by the life
of Christ. We now have the Spirit of God dwelling in us.
The promise of hope for a new life that the Statue of Liberty represented for so many immigrants pales in comparison to the promise of new life that Christ gives us in baptism. In Christ we are made free from sin and death. In him we become citizens of the new and eternal Jerusalem!
