Evening: Psalm 44; John 2:1-12
Ask me to sum up the Christian story in 100 words or less, and I would say something like this ... that Jesus came to confront and to destroy the power of death. The power of death is every power that dehumanizes human beings ... institutions and structures that treat people as things; customs and cultures that deny our humanity; hatred in all its forms; racism; sexism; homophobia; religious intolerance. When we live in thrall to deathly powers, we lose ourselves. Jesus comes to restore us to ourselves, to life, so that we might live in life instead of death.
