Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; John 12:20-26
There is so much in Scripture about how to live, if we but attend. Jesus’s journey leads him towards his final confrontation with, and overthrow of, the deathly powers that dominate human life: “Unless a grain of wheat ... dies, it remains just a single grain, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” You have to lose yourself - lose your precious ego needs, your quest to ‘be somebody’ - in order to find yourself and become a life-giver for others. It’s the opposite of what you expect ... which is the point. Your expectations can lead you astray.
