Evening: Psalms 8, 84; Genesis 3:8-15; John 3:16-21
NASA and a few billionaires long to establish settlements on other planets. Is this to escape a devastated earth, or just adventurousness? A streak in humanity is discontented with where we are and wants to leave, either physically or for some spiritual ‘other world’. Jesus, though, dreams of making whole the world we already live in and calls us to help. Will we live here believing it can work, or plan to leave? ’Eternal life’ is not a better life beyond this one but the healing of our relationship with the place we already inhabit.
