Monday
– World Context
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis,
and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, -
Luke 3:1
In the
arena of God’s activity, there are always multiple events transpiring at the
same time. Everything happens in context.
Christian
awareness has a true north focus on the activity of God in the world, but it
cannot ignore the world around it. To do so would be to deny that God uses
world events to establish a context for His message.
God is
aware of our world. He knows its culture, politics and trends. When His Word
comes to us, it is in context. The Christian who shuts his or her eyes to the
world is going to miss part of what God is addressing in time and space. Not to
acknowledge context is to make God’s Word simply an esoteric nicety with no
punch.
