Evening: Psalm 64, 65; Matthew 13:36-43
Matthew
is presumptuous; he puts his own explanation of good and evil on Jesus’
lips. But I won’t try to fathom the unfathomable. Good and evil, life
and death … these are mysteries; explanations don’t help. Certainly, a
reckoning with evil is required, but the reckoning must occur in the
human heart. In the face of mysteries about which I haven’t the foggiest
idea, I need an understanding heart. When you dig deeper in the
Gospel, you find that Jesus explains very little, but he understands
people. That’s it really; I don’t need to understand, but to be
understood.
