Genesis 37:3-4,12-13,17-28. Matt. 21:33-43,45-46

Be on your guard against the envy which can enter heart and mind and cause great harm to individual and community. History is shot through with evidence of envy, jealousy and hatred which lead to suffering and , unless there is repentance , to judgement and to death .

The Father's love provides both for the freedom of wrong choice in action and for salvation in the consequence. And He lovingly integrates the result into His constructive purpose in His Kingdom for all who turn, repent, and offer all to Him.

I am the way, the truth, the life, the bread of life, the light, the door into the sheepfold, the good shepherd, the true vine, the resurrection and the life.
