Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Luke 10:1-16
Human beings are prone to conflict. Thus, the Abrahamic faiths’ greeting is: ‘Peace’, ‘Salaam’, ‘Shalom’ - God’s Way of Peace. Suffering is the natural consequence of our refusing Peace. Our world urgently needs to discover the Way of Peace. Few, however, seem ready to work for it; probably because this work is hard. For Jesus, the Way of Peace was also the Way of the Cross. Just as refusing Peace leads to suffering for ourselves and others, so also there is probably no giving birth to Peace without our suffering some labour-pangs, too.
