Getting the story straight

Morning: Psalm 145; Exodus 13:17-14:4; 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:10
Evening: Psalm 104; Mark 12:18-27

Jesus’s is a life and death story. However, don’t waste your life, he teaches, guessing what death will be like. Jesus’s Good News is of re-birth here and now - life in this moment, not some unknown future ... Past and future are beyond us. We may be tempted, but Jesus says bluntly, we are quite wrong to worry about what is not in the story. Messengers need to get their story straight ... Jesus’s story is to help you with this life, this moment, not to distract you from it. Beyond this life, you trust God.
