Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; Mark 4:1-20
Oxfam says 26 people (who would all fit into our living-room) possess as much wealth as the poorest 50% of humankind. The world’s treasure is held by fewer and fewer people. This is unjust. But Jesus’s Good News sees justice restored. Some don’t hear; some don’t want to; some can’t; some rejoice. Others resist for fear of losing out. For us, part of Jesus’s Good News may be that the rapid concentration of wealth (and power) in a few hands is unsustainable. Eventually, justice will be done. This is dangerous News – because powerful people may object – but it’s Good News.
