Quote for Sunday, May 31, 2009
Jesus once declared that
God is "good to the ungrateful and the wicked"
(St. Luke 6:35),
and I remember preaching a sermon on this text
to a horrified and even astonished congregation
who simply refused to believe
(so I gathered afterwards)
in this astounding liberality of God.
That God should be in a state of constant fury
with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper,
but that God should be kind
towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws
seemed to them a monstrous injustice.
Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself,
and I only comment here that the terrifying risks
that God takes are part of His Nature.
We do not need to explain or modify
His unremitting love towards mankind.
~ J. B. Phillips (Making Men Whole)
