Evening: Psalm 47, 48; Luke 6:12-26
If
you imagine God’s ways are like ours, you may think God punishes
wrongdoing with vengeance. But in Jesus “God was pleased to reconcile
all things”. Now Jesus still teaches that every life may have its share
of blessings and woes. Woes follow naturally when some people, or
nations, accumulate blessings that belong to others. When the balance is
restored – eventually it will be – those who have enjoyed more than
their share of blessings may later experience woe. It’s only natural,
because the world is made for equilibrium, justice for all. God intends
blessings, not woes or vengeance.
