Hanging Around the Palace

"If I had been a journalist at the time of the crucifixion, I would have been hanging around Herod's palace talking to Pilate and disregarding [Jesus]."
- Malcolm Muggeridge, via Sojourners

I think this is true of most of us. We find ourselves drawn to power, position, and prestige, meanwhile we want avoid poverty and suffering. May the great reversal of the passion, death, and resurrection always serve to remind us that God calls us to the opposite.
