Evening: Psalm 118; John 16:1-15
In
uncertain and dark times, Jesus’ resurrection offers a promising
horizon. But what is the promise? The expectation of life beyond death
is not new with Christianity; the radically new thing is the possibility
of new life before you die. Following Jesus is a
this-worldly experience, not an other-worldly one. It’s about immersion
in life, not escaping from it. Thus, in the stories about Jesus’ death
and resurrection, the Spirit of God is central. Jesus shows us God’s
face; the Holy Spirit guarantees God is with us for ever, leading us
into truth in the here and now.
