Evening: Psalm 27; Romans 8:1-11
The first verses of Romans 8 are a powerful summary of Christian faith. It is impossible to do them justice here. They describe God’s answer to human helplessness before the law, which makes us despair of living well ... because we can’t seem to follow the law. But the Spirit – God’s presence in the human heart – offers hope that we can indeed live well when the Spirit is at work in us. Resurrection, for St. Paul, seems to mean our transformation – from our life-denying misuse of the gifts and wonders of the natural, material world towards what is life-giving.
