God’s wrath ... perhaps it puts you in your place?

Morning: Psalms 40, 54; Deuteronomy 10:12-22; Hebrews 4:11-16

Evening: Psalm 51; John 3:22-36

Are you ever angry? Anger is one thing. Wrath is something else ... cosmic, immense. In yesterday’s Gospel, God condemns evil, which is not obviously personal. People are not condemned, just their evil ways. Today’s Gospel is personal. People who disobey Jesus’s Way endure God’s wrath. You cannot dodge this statement or explain it away. What the experience of God’s wrath feels like is not specified. But perhaps experiencing wrath after you choose evil helps you to establish clearer boundaries, so you choose the good? Perhaps wrath puts you in your place, or in the place you should be!? 😊
