This final episode cites the example of Brother Lawrence, who applied the resurrection of Christ to everyday life, in his case, doing the dishes. Menial everyday tasks, noted Brother Lawrence, should be filled with the presence of God. The episode highlights the modern equivalent, the hours most of us spend plowing through traffic. How might most of our lives be transformed if we intentionally communed with God amidst our mundane activities, instead of droning on in endless self-talk? The never-ending treadmill of anxiety that modern Christians endure is largely the consequence of solving our problems without God. The solution is clearly articulated in Isaiah 55:2: "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?" Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance." Isaiah contrasts futile reliance on our own abilities with attentive listening to the voice of God, resulting in a bountiful harvest of good things. This final episode invites all Christians to abide in the resurrected Christ at ALL times, listening to Him, as we walk in the newness of life.
