Evening: Psalms 134, 135; Zephaniah 3:1-13; Luke 19:11-27
Jesus speaks in a parable about a judgment that is coming. His story of a harsh king sounds the alarm for those who have failed to notice God’s fierce desire for justice. Human affairs must be set to rights. There is no escaping that Jesus intended this stark message to fall hard on a nation and a world gone awry. Our 21st century society is also seriously adrift ... Jesus’s warning of judgment applies to us, too. Are we ready, as a society, to be held accountable for how we use earth’s gifts, entrusted to us? A reckoning is coming.
