I came that they may have life, and have
it abundantly. John
10:10 (ESV)
LOVE IS
STRONGER
‘Peace on earth, good
will to all people’, were words located in the context of occupation. People
were desperate for a ‘saviour-liberator’. The ‘good news’ offer of full life
for all does not mean that our walls and our updated defence capability will
insulate us from the evils of war. The allure of war still inhabits the
imagination of whole nations. The good news, though, is that love is strong
enough to come in weakness, neutralising fears and offering openings towards
greater understanding of each other. In offering love as antidote to the
culture of death and hate, God gives rather than rob or steal. There lies our
hope. This hope is grounded on God’s faithfulness. It is based on the
possibilities of God irrespective of how things are. It thrives even in
situations that can elicit utter hopelessness – for it is based upon God
breaking into our midst to transform. Remember well!
PRAYER
Lover-of-justice-and-peace,
shape our consciences and hearts according to your way of just, peaceful and
loving lives. Move us beyond fear to speak with compassionate courage and to
act with both conviction and humility. Give us ears, eyes, hearts and voices to
discern, respond and embody hope through our actions, in private and in public.
Bless us with wholeness, and through your Spirit continue to sustain us in the
face of powerful forces bent on denying life. Amen
