Morning: Psalm 107:33-43; Genesis 35:1-20; I John 3:11-18
When
obligations conflict, you weigh your priorities. Jesus risked death,
appearing in public to save Lazarus. His disciples wanted to protect
him, but Jesus’s mission to demand justice from the political and
religious authorities was more urgent. By raising Lazarus from the dead,
he would demonstrate that threats of death from misguided and unjust
authority would not stand in his way. He would defeat the power of death
on the Cross. Moreover, Jesus’s quest for justice and his victory over
the power of death now help us to set priorities for our lives that will
bring the earth to wholeness.
Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.
