What are
we to make of this so-called "king", Jesus? How are we ever to make sense of what he
said and did? With all the noise around us, will we ever be able to hear the
truth that comes to us from our unread Bibles? Certainly we don’t really
think of Jesus as our king at all. Certainly we couldn’t make time to find out
about these things.
We’re entirely too busy. The king we now hail is busyness.
Our king today is image. We are ruled by media and bow down to it each night.
Our prayers are posts and tweets, hoping someone, anyone might notice. Praying
to cyberspace, the mythical god of the 21st century. And what an
uncaring, cruel god this is. Where photo shopped reality distorts the essence
of life beyond recognition.
God's remedy? For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and
rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
but you would not. Isa. 30:15
