Evening: Psalms 47, 48; John 2:13-22
When
wine runs out at the wedding feast, Jesus protests, “My time has not
yet come.” Soon after, he confronts those who desecrate the holiness of
the temple. Isn’t this amazing universe we live in also a temple, a
holy place? One courageous Swedish teenager, Greta Thunberg, says she
cannot ignore the climate crisis, the destruction of our eco-systems,
and carry on pretending that everything is normal; she feels compelled
to protest. No doubt we will raise a glass of wine together when the
temple of the Cosmos is finally revered. But we have much to do before
that celebration.
