Evening: Psalms 110:1-7, 132; Micah 4:1-5; 5:2-4; John 3:31-36
The Gospel says that Jesus comes as a messenger from God, full of God’s Spirit. This is the unavoidable Christmas story, whether one accepts it or not … that whoever trusts Jesus will find life. But for the one who rejects what Jesus stands for (Love, Peace, Hope, Justice, Joy), things will probably not go well. The ‘not going well’ part was once called ‘God’s wrath’. Well, the disruption caused by human hatred, war, despair, injustice and sorrow could very well feel like heavenly wrath … that disruption is what Jesus came to mend.
