I will not post nooze on Easter Sunday. I have a duty to watch: so, yes, I see some of those abominable things that are going on, even today. Rest assured God sees them, too.
The real news is “Death cannot keep its prey,” Jesus Christ has left His tomb, the stone is rolled away–and He will return. In the meantime, “Occupy until I come.”
You have no idea how I long to burst out in indignation over certain nooze that surfaced this weekend. But I hold back because Our Lord’s Resurrection is more important, infinitely more important; and this other is not fit to be mentioned on this day. I don’t know if it will ever be worthy to mention in print, on any day.
But rest assured: God sees, God hears, God knows. In the long run this earth is still the LORD’s, the tomb is empty… and as He is risen, so shall we be risen.
Yes, these things are the ones of importance. Far too little attention is given to the spiritual and too much attention to the physical and worldly.; these things that the enemy uses to distract us from the vital truth that we should be sharing with those around us.
The news of the day is bleak. There are so many problems that one becomes overloaded, and eventually just has to put it out of our conscious thoughts, but even at that, it’s still in our heads, nagging at us, trying to intrude. Sadly, much, if not all of these matters are beyond our personal influence. So we can pray, and live our lives as best we can.
But the Good News outweighs all of this. Jesus of Nazareth, executed like a common criminal, and despised by many, was not bound by death, and all of us can take hope from this.
Psalm 7:11 God is a just God. He is angry with the wicked every day.
