From death to life

Morning: Psalms 24, 29; Genesis 41:14-45; Romans 6:3-14

Evening: Psalms 8, 84; John 5:19-24

You need not look far to see the power of death at work in the world. This power of death does not often kill us physically, as in acts of terror or crime.  But it can kill the human spirit ... as when a child is abused, or a woman suffers domestic violence, or workers are exploited, or people turn a blind eye to poverty and need. Jesus’s mission and, therefore, the mission of his followers is to bring the world from death to life, to defeat the power of death with the power of his justice and love.
