DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Job 16:1-22; John 7:1-13
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. (John 7:7)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus avoided Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. Why? The Jews didn’t want to hear the truth. Out of the human heart comes all kinds of evil. No matter how good you look on the outside, the Lord knows the truth of what’s going on inside.
The world won’t admit that it is evil. It’s not that people don’t believe that there is real evil in the world. That’s quite evident. We see it in senseless acts of violence like terrorist bombings and mass shootings. We see plenty of that on a regular basis in our day. But our definition of evil often stops there. God’s goes deeper. Evil is there in the grumbling of the hired workers at the vineyard. It’s there in the grumbling of Israel. It’s there in yours, too, even in the sins you think are so small and insignificant.
Holy Scripture calls us to examine ourselves and recognize the evil within our own hearts. But that’s precisely what the world cannot do. Okay. Maybe we can admit that we’re not perfect. Sure, I make mistakes, but I’m nothing like the Boston bombers. Some even defend evil and explain it away. It goes something like this: It was just his upbringing, his poor circumstances, or his social situation that led him to do what he did. That’s all just a denial of the truth. Paul said that when he wants to do good, evil is right there with him (Romans 7).
Jesus turns on the lights. He exposes our evil hearts. But Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world; He came to save it. He came to save you! That’s the Good News. God has an answer for evil: His beloved Son! He took upon Himself not only the evil of those who crucified Him, who hammered the nails, but your evil, too, and He left it buried in the grave.
Look for Him at the feast of His Body and Blood, where He shows Himself openly to the world, to you, not as One who is evil, but as One who loves you, who has taken all your evil upon Himself and repaid you with forgiveness, life, and salvation. Jesus is God’s answer to all the world’s evil. He is God’s answer for you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
A feast of love for us You are preparing; We who were lost, You give an honored place! “Come, eat; come, drink, and be no more despairing—Here taste again the treasures of My grace.” (As Rebels, Lord, Who Foolishly Have Wandered, LSB 612:3)
