Played a game of Jeopardy with
the Middlers. Categories were:
Disasters, Wars and Tribulations.
Answers: Earthquakes and casualties (1970-80), Hurricanes (2012), Wars
between England and France (12th Century), Wars of Ancient Greece
and Rome, Battles of the Civil War, Massacres Worldwide (1900-50). So what’s Jesus talking about when he warns
us in the gospel of terrible things to come.
Terrible things have never stopped coming.
Wait for the future? Hardly!
The future is today. Our job is
not to look for Jesus once the terrible things start; it is to invite Him to
come right now and redeem us from the terrible things that have never stopped.
