Evening: Psalm 103; John 12:44-50
People think Christianity is about life after death. But it’s about living today free from the power of death, which is anything that keeps us from enjoying full lives. Many institutions live in the thrall of the power of death … churches so devoted to tradition that they forget what it means; businesses more concerned with profit than with lives ruined by the environmental damage they cause; or governments more concerned with re-election than with serving the lives of citizens. All these are instances of the power of death. The Way of Jesus seeks to liberate us from death’s power.
