Listen "A Problem of Justice - 30/04/23"
Episode Synopsis
Bible Text: Genesis 34
As we continue in Genesis this week, we come to a very difficult passage. Here Dinah is raped by a young ruler from Shechem, Jacob is passive in response and the brothers take a terrible revenge. What are supposed to take away from an account like this? Certainly there isn't any example to follow. But it does force us to wrestle with the reality of sin, and our response to it. It also calls us to look in hope to our God who promises to just, and also loving.
For some this will be difficult to consider, please don't suffer in silence. Both myself (Pastor Jono) and Lisa Huck are ready to speak with you and walk with you in your pain. Please contact us after the service or in the week to come.
