I was fascinated that the angel sent as a messenger of God against
Sodom and Gomorrah had authority to grant Lot's requests, change the
instructions, etc. This messenger was an ambassador who represented
the father. God entrusted the mission into the angel's hands and left
at least some of the details up to the angel.

I have had a cold this week and my routine has been disrupted so I am
off schedule with the readings. One of my favorite chapters in Mark
in Mk 11, the cursing of the fig tree. Mark has a characteristic
writing style where he "sandwiches" stories together interlocking them
and forcing them to interpret each other. In Mk 11 we have a story of
a showy fig tree interlocked with the religious practice of Jerusalem
combined with an underlying question of legitimate authority. All of
this, I think also has Ezekiel 47 in the background. Join us Sunday
night for a lively discussion.
