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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

I consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing

Christ Jesus my Lord. — Philippians 3:8

RENGLONES RECTOS

“Dios escribe derecho en renglones torcidos”, dice el refra n. El testimonio contundente de san Pablo, cuando nos dice que todo es basura fuera del conocer a Cristo y experi-mentar la fuerza de su Resurreccio n, es un mensaje bien directo y claro –aunque Dios sabe que Pablo anduvo por una senda bien torcida antes de recibir la luz cegadora del Sen or.

Isaí as nos recuerda que los grandes milagros del pasa-do no son nada en comparacio n con la nueva creacio n que Dios va a realizar. “¿No lo notan?” nos pregunta el profeta, como si todaví a anduvie ramos perdidos por nuestras sen-das torcidas.

Y no hay renglo n ma s derecho que la lí nea que conecta la intensa miseria de una mujer pecadora con la misericor-dia de Dios que se muestra en la persona de Jesu s. ¡Eso sí que son Buenas Nuevas!” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Más aún pienso que nada vale la pena en comparación con el bien supremo,

que consiste en conocer a Cristo Jesús, mi Señor.
