Dealing decisively with evil

Morning: Psalm 51:1-18; Jeremiah 12:1-16; Philippians 3:1-14
Evening: Psalm 69:1-23; John 12:9-19
“Why do the treacherous thrive?”  Many reject God because bad things happen. But it’s too simplistic to think God should stop evil in its tracks. Human beings must be involved. We are caught up in it; why should God rescue us from every bad situation?  Better to know God is with us in our perennial struggle with evil and the power of death.  Jesus showed this was true when he raised Lazarus.  That’s why they welcomed him into Jerusalem with shouts of praise.  They had begun to hope that Jesus would help them deal decisively with evil.  He did.
