This past Sunday I preached that Jesus does just that. In fact, Jesus insists on wading hip deep into the messiness of human life with you. With all the violence and destruction happening in Ukraine right now, this is a word that we very much need to hear. For those of us too young to really remember the horrors of Viet Nam, Ukraine is the bloodiest and most enduring violence that Americans have had beamed into our living rooms. Our God is weeping over what is happening an ocean and more away.
