Power to become ourselves

Morning: Psalms 85, 87; Isaiah 52:7-12; Hebrews 2:5-10
Evening: Psalms 110:1-5, 132; John 1:9-14

This sacred season is a close encounter with the power of death ... it is clearly a season of suffering and pain, of sorrow for lost lives and livelihoods, of lament that we have mistakenly disrupted nature and denied our mistake. Yet this sacred season ends not in death, but in life ... if we repent, turning away from the power of death to welcome the truth that our hearts know well ... God comes in Jesus and offers us the power to become ourselves. This is the remarkable possibility calling to us from beyond this valley of the shadow.
