Evening: Psalm 110:1-5; 116; 117; Mark 14:43-52
Hatred,
fear and betrayal are human responses to perceived threats … Jesus,
crucified for challenging the abuses of the religious and civil
authorities; Liu Xiaobo, confined and called a danger to the Chinese
people for demanding basic human rights; Muslims in North America,
persecuted by hate groups for their faith. Jesus was betrayed with a
kiss; the rationale of hatred often appeals to some higher ideal, and
hatred or fear masquerade as love. When any other human being makes you
feel insecure, there is never a loving reason to hate them. Love
cannot show itself as fear or betrayal.
Graham
