How might I endure in the presence of fear without being overcome by it? Christopher Mack looks at an apocalyptic biblical text, and how it invites us to reflect on our own fears, challenges, tragedies, and violence in light of the Jesus Way. [Luke 21:5-8, 10-13, 17-19]
Reflection
- How might the name of Jesus guide and ground you in chaotic and troubling times?
- Where might you be led astray by easy answers, charismatic personalities, shiny spectacles, or a group to scapegoat?
- What is essential about your life that you must not betray in challenging times?
