Reconsidering human events

The Christian Science Monitor

Had a rough year last year? Maybe it would be helpful to consider the events of this past year in a new light, so that we can avoid any disconcerting hangover of the old as we proceed into the new.

What I'm suggesting is a mental review of events based on a reevaluation of the evidence at hand. Are we justified in doing so? In finding an answer we might look to the life of Christ Jesus.

Consider Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, struggling with the thought of what was about to occur. Was it his Father's will that he should suffer on the cross and subsequently be laid to rest in a dank, dark tomb?
