Evening: Psalms 48, 87; Haggai 2:1-9; I John 3:1-8
Modern slavery exploits 40 million people for profit, with no way out. We may be enslaved, too, trapped in disordered relationships with others, the earth and God. Jesus taught that there is a way out of this predicament, that Truth restores relationships. This is not about our being good; goodness eludes us. Truth is about forgiveness. Forgiveness - God’s and ours - heals broken relationships and sets us on a good path ... forgiven, loved and free enough at last of our own distress to be able to work for the real freedom of those 40 million actual slaves.
