… though the weather’s fair, feeling if anything rather more chilly than the previous few days.
“You just can’t see it, can you?” Reading from the Lectionary in 2 Corinthians, we see how that is (in part) the writer’s response to people who don’t believe what he believes. It seems a little unsatisfactory, and we know from other letters and from the Acts, how Paul (if it was he) was eager to argue the case for Christ in every setting. But “you just don’t see it” is often how we feel, about someone who just hasn’t ‘got’ the change of mindset needed to follow the Christ of Love. At the same time, Christians need to be eager to ‘see it’ and understand (and respect) where others are coming from. This too is following Paul’s example – he listened and observed and tried to understand before he debated.
