Jesus and non-sequiters
How did we get from sick people and angry people to a lesson about walking in light? Is God always playing chess while we play checkers? What is this about? They are questioning the wisdom of going into harm’s way and Jesus is explaining how he sees the world. He won’t stumble into death or injury. He knows where he is going. The way is not dark for him. The way is dark for them, for us, because we eat from the tree of knowledge. Jesus sees the way because he eats from the tree of life. Yes we are going to walk right back into the place where death threats and sickness unto death are waiting. But there’s a way through both of those and I can see it. Here’s some good news, just come with me and I will show you the way. Keep your eyes on me and you don’t have to worry about finding the way. I am the way.
