Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Mark 8:11-26
Sometimes I get frustrated when people repeatedly miss this point: that absolutely nothing else matters if we do not take seriously Jesus’ command, ‘Love one another’. People say, ‘Yeh, yeh, but ...’, then spit their anger about something that can be addressed with kindness and decency. I want to demand, with Jesus: ‘Don’t you understand yet!?’ Jesus’ disciples and the Pharisees cause him to sigh, too; they are slow to understand. ‘Give us a sign’, they plead. He has already fed a multitude! Their vision is clouded. One day everyone will see. It just may take a while.
