Evening: Psalm 49; Mark 1:29-45
When humans find something valuable, they possess it, contain it, lock it up, keep it safe, display it. They want to possess Jesus’s power to teach and to heal. But Jesus will not be corralled. He slips away to quiet places or goes on elsewhere to proclaim the message of God’s love and wholeness. Love cannot be contained or stored up. Try to hang onto it and it slips away. Love is the embodied message we are to share far beyond the walls we build around it to keep us safe in its glow. Love does not play it safe.
