Morning: Psalm 95, 88; Lamentations 3:37-58; Hebrews 4:1-16
Evening: Psalm 27; Romans 8:1-11
How
can Jesus’s suffering make things right? Only if Jesus is God. And
even then, it is not because Jesus “pays the price” for trouble we
cause. What could that possibly mean? He pays himself!? No … But
suffering endured for Love does help, because it’s a powerful way of
saying, “I love you”. Believing that the cosmos is fundamentally
friendly changes things. For, when weighed down by my failings, knowing
that the only record of them is in my own mind may help me find new
life, and even make me ready to endure suffering for someone else’s
sake.
