STRAIGHT LINES
“God writes straight with crooked lines,” the saying goes.
The power of Paul’s testimony that everything is junk but
knowledge of Jesus and the power of his resurrection is a
straight enough message. And, God knows, Paul had a
crooked journey before his blinding insight straight from
God.
Through Isaiah, God reminds us all that the past great
works were as nothing compared to the new creation. “Can’t
you see it?” we are asked, as if we are still wandering along
our crooked lines.
And there is no straighter line than that between the
woman whose misery is intense and the God whose mercy in
Jesus is deeper and more acute. You just can’t beat this kind
of good news.
