YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE

PRAYER MOMENT  


Wednesday 14 October 2015


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.
