Evening: Psalm 35; John 1:35-42
“If
you do this, good things will happen,” and “If you do that, there’ll be
trouble.” These are statements about the way the world works, not
prophecies, promises or threats. We learn from experience what is wise
or unwise, just or unjust, true or false, good or evil. It’s almost
impossible to teach people this stuff. If they did listen, it
might save a lot of grief! But it’s the experience of Love that makes
us want to act justly. Maybe that’s why Jesus rarely teaches morality;
he simply extends an invitation: “Come and see” … what Love can do?
