Evening: Psalm 104; John 16:16-33
“In the world you will face persecution,” Jesus says, “but take courage; I have conquered the world.” Will only his followers face persecution? No, sadly, sometimes they will dish it out. There are myriad examples of persecution in Christian history, often of one Christian group by another. Unfortunately, Jesus’s followers, like all humans, do not always treat one another with Love. So, when Jesus says, “I have conquered the world,” what does he mean? Is it not this ... Jesus has overcome the Love-denying power of death; and now Love will be the lifeblood and breath of a new world.
