The Most Pressing Issue
This week the US Senate pulled an all-nighter to tell the American people, "We're not going to rest until there is action on the most pressing issue of our time..." What would that be? Something monumental, earth-shattering, and obvious. What is the most pressing issue of our time? It is the same problem we have always suffered: death! It is an intractable disease and everyone succumbs to it. I doubt, however, that the politicians can do anything about it, even if they might try. Only Jesus is able to defeat death, which He does--unexpectedly--by dying. In Lent we follow Jesus to see the most pressing issue of all time resolved by God's Son on the cross of Calvary. Oh, what did the US Senate think was the most pressing issue of our time.... "climate change." No, really! Perhaps they should try working on death.
