Matthew 24:15-31
I grew up with a fair bit of fear about the “end times.” I will restrain from the temptation to go on too much about this. I will, however, write that I think that our often unhealthy fixation about the apocalypse (reflective of our desire to control something so completely out of our hands) prevents us from openly and freshly engaging with these portions of scripture.
This song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds leads me deeper into today’s reading than a lifetime’s worth of Jack Van Impe episodes.
