Evening: Psalms 134, 135; Zephaniah 3:1-13; Luke 19:11-27
The climax of Jesus’s life will occur in Jerusalem. There, he will confront the powers of the present age and eclipse them in a radically shocking, unexpected way – by suffering and dying at their hands. Jesus carries a promise of both justice and mercy. Today’s parable is stark, even brutal, difficult to unpack, but one thing is certain … there will be a reckoning when the true King comes with his message of grace, and those who oppose his way of mercy and peace will not be comforted. They too will suffer before goodness can prevail. No justice, no peace.
