Do you know the word “fickle”? It means changing frequently especially regarding loyalties, interests or affection. It does not take much to change our minds. Look at politics for example. We are in an age of instant communication which can lead to swings in opinion polls based on who said or did what on any particular day. This is not a new phenomena but just a reflection of our instant mood changes based on who or what is influencing us around the world. The terrorists acts in Brussels caused immediate reaction to all of us around the world. Everyone has their own opinions on what actions need to be taken. Unfortunately, opinions are held in high regard to the person stating the opinion but causes reaction by others who do not share the same. A few thousand years ago the news media was much slower but the fickle nature of us humans have not changed. The story of Jesus’ triumphant entry into the City of David riding a colt with the crowds shouting praises found in Luke 19 quickly turned to a vicious attack of the same Jesus leading to his horrific death as chronicled in Luke 22 and 23. This is a classic story of happy crowds changing into an angry mob. How did that happen? It only takes a few antagonists in the crowd to create the mood swing. We are indeed a fickle people. Thank God we are not judged based on fickleness! What wondrous love is this? Listen to my brief message and remember he lives.
