KNOW THAT THE REIGN OF GOD HAS OVERTAKEN YOU (Luke 11;14-23)
It is a moment of crisis. Will they accept the new life offered by
the coming of Jesus or will they retreat into the way of life they were used to?
We know what happened. They could not accept him and reached around
for every excuse they could think of to reject him. They were offered a whole
new way of life that would be in-exhaustively satisfying but they opted for
what they knew, what they could control, what they ‘were comfortable with.’ It is bleak tragedy repeated and
repeated. Lent is that precious time
when we look hard: am I missing something – a way of thinking, a way of life,
an openness to the Spirit - that could really make a difference.
