Evening: Psalms 10, 11; John 17:12-19
Remember Star Trek? You are carried into an encounter between different worlds; people are transported into places where they do not belong. They go, with purpose and curiosity, sometimes uncertainty, fear, even love. The positive dimension of human experience is re-imagined in cosmic terms. It’s wonderful, right!? Jesus says, ‘I do not belong to the world’. He also sends his followers where they ‘do not belong’. The disciple’s calling is... boldly go with a word of truth that the world may consider alien, strange, even threatening. Love is that strange and wonderful truth which makes unfamiliar and hostile worlds friends.
