Evening: Psalms 124, 125, 126; Mark 9:42-50
Our choices have consequences ... this is a common theme for Jesus. But we understand differently how those consequences come about. Some think that life works like a courtroom where a judge pronounces ‘sentences’ for bad behaviour. Jesus teaches that life works more like the Cold War cartoon ... Two enemies stand waist-deep in a pool of gasoline, threatening one another; one has 10 matches, the other has 9! Your behaviour is your choice. Its consequences - for good or ill - follow from your actions. Disturb the God-given balance of Mother Nature and she will work to restore it.
