Morning: Psalms 41, 52; Ecclesiastes 2:1-15; Galatians 1:1-17
Evening: Psalm 44; Matthew 13:44-52
Scholars
agree that scribes and editors have put into Jesus’ mouth their own
explanations of what he meant. I trust that this Gospel passage is one
of these: “At the
end of the age, the angels will separate the evil from the righteous and
throw them into the furnace of fire.” Really? I’m confident Jesus
foretold the final victory of good over evil. But I believe he taught
that God’s final intention for all things is not weeping and gnashing of
teeth, but the joy of finding hidden treasure … not more suffering, but
the end of suffering
