putting the work to rights

last sunday was advent sunday, the start of the advent season leading up to christmas. Jesus has come to earth to launch the new creation of the world, and is coming back soon to complete it!






it has started to snow in york and christmas is in the air. but before that, there are 2 more weeks of lectures, seminars and assignments.

the gospel is not about Western ideas of health, wealth and prosperity. the gospel is about the Jewish-Christian conviction that 'life - all life - is meaningful and good, and that evil distorts and disrupts the good and cries out to be set right' (Westerholm, Understanding Paul).

as a christian who happens to be a student, work - all work - is meaningful and good, and the evil that is unfinished work distorts and disrupts the good and cries out to be put right. as a christian who happens to be a student, you glorify God by putting the work to rights.
