Upside Down
And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and with him all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets, all the people, both small and great. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the Lord. II Kings 23:2 ESV
Restart
Usually, restarts are not satisfying. When I am losing at a computer game, and I start over, somehow later success seems lessened.
When I am trying to work on the plumbing under my sink, and it gets so messed up that I have to start over, somehow the eventual success seems lessened.
When I am reading a difficult book, and my mind gets so confused that I have to start over, somehow the final knowledge seems lessened.
Maybe it is not lessened. But it seems like it.
But the Gospel allowing us repeatedly to start over is not lessened by the repeat.
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, forgives us over and over and over and over and over. And each time it is not less wonderful, but more-so.
There is nothing else like it in the world.
And it turns the world upside down.
