A Story Ain't Complete Without A Happy Ending.

A joy to log in again on mylot. It's the activity I had to give up for Holy Week as a form of sacrifice - as in abstaining from things one loves doing very much. It has been a melancholic week for me. Tuned in to the continuing trial over the demise of George Floyd, discovering further from the witnesses and evidences presented how grievous a blow the manner on which he died. Just the same, hoping the trial doesn't go furthermore. As the Scriptures has it - 'if two witnesses attest the same, what they say is true.' Reviewed the Scriptures, specifically the Gospel of our Lord Jesus from the pen of John. The final chapter sort of left me hanging. Ended with this conversation: "21 Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, 'What about him, Lord?' (referring to John) 22 Jesus answered, 'If I want him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you? You are to follow me.'" The story ain't complete yet because of the words "till I come." That means we have to wait for the Parousia. Two millenniums has passed since then. The Gospel of our Lord has been vandalized in the most sacrilegious of ways. Man has turned back to his wicked ways. The killer of George Floyd has become the new poster face of Cain. Yet our Lord Jesus uttered "You are to follow me." Whatever the circumstances we find our selves in, we have to remember that command - we have to follow our Lord. The world is grim right now. The plague and sin upon us. Almost an illusion to even say "Happy Easter!" But that is exactly the message of Easter - a hope for a happy ending. Let's wait a little longer for the completion of our story. As in any good story, it ain't complete without a happy ending.
