Evening: Psalm 103; John 10:31-42
If
you hadn’t noticed, Jesus is central to these musings. The figure of
Jesus towers over recent human history, down to the date on this
reflection. What captivates me about him is how faithfully Jesus
embodies what he teaches; his actions are consistent with his words.
Naturally and compassionately, Jesus weeps when he hears of his friend
Lazarus’ death. The compassionate heart suffers with those who suffer.
Jesus’ compassion convinces me – because I accept he is who he says he
is – that compassion is at the heart, and is the way to the heart of
reality.
