Global warming.
Everyone is talking about it.
And anxious.
But heavens.
That news is old hat.
It is part of the death-dealing news of the creation subject to sin and death, and under the curse.
There is a more up to date news-flash than that.
But it gets so little coverage - in the best way.
You see Christ is Risen from the dead.
He is in the race, at the finishing line, about to make all things new.
And we are looking still at yesterday's out of date news.
No the most up to date news we are ignoring is not Climate Change.
Sure, that may be happening, seriously, and it would be smart to address it.
But let's not ignore the real issues. Hope, has been given. Death has been dealt with. The promise of the regeneration of all things is secure, and at hand.
Rather, let us seek the one who said: 'Come to me...'.
There are a fair few big and small players on the human scene who demand we listen to them. But they ignore this voice, who says 'My yoke is easy and my burden is light'
He has borne the burden of the human race, and of the groaning creation.
We are not called to bear this - of ourselves!
Cease the panic, folks, and seek the One in whom the solution to every dark thing, lies clear and sure. Entrust your souls, (said the once not-so-reliable Peter) to a Faithful Creator. He had at least learned that. And that dear friends, would alter our approach from consumers saving our skins, to contributors, really caring for creation, carefully. Yay.
Up to date news!
