YOU HAVE NO
EXCUSE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “No matter who you are, if you pass
judgement you have no excuse.” (Romans 2:1-11)
Reflection. Paul begins to develop his
presentation by pointing to our human freedom with its good and evil results.
We make choices and choices have consequences. When Hamlet saw his father’s
ghost he had a choice – an agonising one, hence “to be or not to be.” In the
end he can’t make up his mind and events overtake him and the one murder leads
to six more including his own – a tragedy played out in our media each day.
Freedom has terrible consequences if abused as the millions displaced in Syria
shows. But there must be something we can do? Indeed, there is, says Paul; and
this now will be his theme.
Prayer. Lord Jesus, open for us the letter
to the Romans and help us discover Paul’s message. Amen.
