The taste of new wine; love beyond knowledge


Morning: Psalm 20, 21; Isaiah 43:1-13; Ephesians 3:14-21
Evening: Psalm 110, 116, 117; Mark 2:22-3:6
God defies our human attempts to domesticate him. Jesus taught that ‘old skins’ would burst when filled with ‘new wine’ … and God is always doing something new; the creation is ever-unfolding. As soon as we think we know God, some new question opens up. But in the love of Christ, we can come close to God’s fullness. We are precious in God’s sight and honoured, and God loves us. Such love is beyond our knowing. But it is enough; it is everything really.
