Psalm 11
Galatians
3:23-4:7
John 5:1-18
Do we take the consequences of sin and folly too lightly? Do we blame God’s
wrath for the suffering that comes our way? Having described our short
comings in v22, Jeremiah paints a desperate picture of the desolation of the
earth in vv23-28, a reversal of the created order established in Genesis. Read
it slowly and receive Jeremiah’s despair. This nuclear holocaust, this laying
waste of nature, is the direct result of our failure to know God and our
inability to do right. Only if we begin to take sin and its consequences
seriously, as seriously as do Jeremiah and God, can we begin to appreciate
the power and Grace of Easter.
Ann Milton
