Think And Let Think

There is a great leveling on the hill called Golgotha. Because until that moment, as Jesus says, the house was left to us. And when the house is left to us we, more often than not, like to chose who is able to join us in the house. We like to create our own rules about who is first and who is last, who is right and who is wrong, who is included and who is excluded. But so long as the house is left to us, it will not look like the kingdom of God. Instead it will be a place that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it. It will be a place where longer tables and wider doors lead to more anger, more vitriol, and more violence. It will be a place of our own making, and therefore our own doom.
