Loved enough to be warned

Passage: Luke 12:49 - 13:9

There aren’t many weeks that pass by without news of a tragedy somewhere in the world. This week it is has been acid attacks in London, recently we had Forest Fires killed 60 in Portugal, before that of course was Grenfell Tower, which came hard after the terrorism attacks in North London and London Bridge and Manchester. Many of these of course relatively close to home.

Suffering and sadness is never far away from us, and the question of suffering is never far away. And in Luke’s gospel in our reading today Jesus himself engages with this very question of suffering.
