A Moment Aside --- 30 September 2021
The Holy Scriptures answer
many questions while bringing up new questions at the same time. That
collection of books does not tell us how to safely “get to heaven.” The focus
is far more earth-bound.
How shall I live out my days?
Whom should I be kind to? What does God require of me? (Look at Micah 6:8 -- He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and
what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? – Sounds all here and now to
me!)
The Scriptures tell us how
to have Heaven start here, just like our Baptism brings us into the Kingdom of
God even though not perfectly. Perfection is not the point. Direction and
example are the points.
So let us read the
Scripture with new eyes.
