The Love that confronts violence and injustice

Morning: Psalms 101, 109; Genesis 31:25-50; I John 2:12-17
Evening: Psalm 119:121-144; John 10:1-18

John uses powerful metaphors to help our imaginations grasp who Jesus is. It’s hard to pin Jesus down or do him justice ... he is the ‘gate’ who opens up opportunities for me; he is ‘the good shepherd’ who ‘lays down (his) life for the sheep’. He shows me where to find food for my soul, and sacrifices his life for me ... I cannot say exactly what this means, but I believe it’s that the Love of the Creator of the Cosmos nurtures you and me and confronts violence and injustice on our behalf.
