Our world
appears to have gone crazy, war, terrorism, domestic violence, violence against
children, governments being OK with homelessness/starving children, and populations on mass leaving the
home that they love to flee to a place where they are not really wanted.
And here
comfortable in North America we have finished our Thanksgiving celebrations and
are moving on to Christmas. Black Friday
saw shoppers fighting with other shoppers over 'things', things that we do not
need but we really want!
Yes a
world gone crazy and where do Christian's sit in this mess?
The
lectionary readings this week speak directly to the current situation. We are to hold tight to our faith, to the
knowledge that it is through God's preparation not any of our own that at the
end of this path we will arrive home, our eternal home. That God walks every step of this human life
with us, encouraging and providing for our spiritual health, so we do not turn
away or fall faint.
"I
will fulfill my promise" Jeremiah 33:14
God's
promise to us is this, an eternal home free of sin, hate and pain and the
knowledge that God is always present now, showing us love, providing spiritual
support and guidance if we just have an open spirit and eyes to see.
Where are
Christian's in this world gone crazy?
We walk
the same human path as everyone else, we suffer as everyone suffers and we do
it with faith. Faith in the promise of
our God and we live as our Lord Jesus Christ did offering not judgement and
reproach but love.
