‘Not a single stone will be left upon another.’

Jesus offers some strong words. They are echoed in so much we see in our world. It can be easy, sometimes, to despair. Could we be experiencing ‘the winepress of God’s anger?’ However, he goes on, ‘When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be afraid.’ After all, this is he who also said: ‘Fear not, I have overcome the world.’

Let us heed the words of the psalmist, and shout for joy at presence of the Lord God. May our God give us the strength to trust in his Son, to believe him when he says he will stay with us always.
