Evening: Psalm 116, 121; John 14:1-6
These
daily reflections, though inspired by daily Scripture readings, aim to
be fairly non-religious. Jesus himself is not warm towards religion’s
self-serving tendencies. Jesus just wants his disciples to know that
his is the human face of the divine; know him, and you know God. The
trouble is, religious folk sometimes think, mistakenly, that God plays
favourites based on good behavior or who knows what? They try to make
Jesus’ teachings into a set of passwords, a sort of firewall, to keep
out riff-raff. The Jesus of the Scriptures is, instead, an open gate.
God welcomes all; no passwords required.
