Evening: Psalm 106:19-48; John 5:19-29
Today’s Gospel is difficult for me ... Jesus speak of those who have done good being resurrected to life and those who have done evil being resurrected to condemnation. What to say about this? Philosopher Blaise Pascal had an idea ... A rational person should live as though God exists and believe in God. If God does not exist, the person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas if God does exist, he stands to receive infinite gains (‘heaven’) and avoid infinite losses (‘hell’). Using this logic, better to bet on God and do good, right!?
