Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; John 3:22-36
I remember seeing a painting of John the Baptist, standing like a signpost, pointing beyond himself, as if to say, “Look to Jesus, not me.” John believes the Spirit is at work in Jesus, who is the Way to Life. So it’s hard to hear in the same Gospel passage that God is angry when I stray from the truth. I need mercy when I mess up, not wrath; I’m usually angry enough at myself! Yet I will still follow the signpost and look to Jesus, even if his story sometimes confounds me.
