Evening: Psalms 128, 129, 130; Matthew 9:9-17
Christian religion is being stretched. Jesus said new wine needs new wineskins or the skins will burst. The ‘new wine’ of Jesus’ mercy may be causing this crisis of religion; mercy calls for new containers. Some religious people still think you have to be morally righteous to belong. The Gospel says No! … You do not have to be good to be a disciple; on the contrary, you have to admit that you’re not! It is time judgmental religion was replaced with more flexible containers that can hold the ‘gentle rain’ of mercy Jesus brings.
