Michael "Barney" Chandler recently started his new job. He
serves under King Charles III as a Yeoman Warder Ravenmaster. It is his
responsibility to protect the seven ravens that reside in the Tower of London.
Why is this important? If those ravens ever leave the famed Tower, it will
collapse into dust and the Kingdom of England will fall. At least that is the
legend that led King Charles II (1630-1685) to was dedicated to protecting the
ravens (and by extension Great Britian). Based on this legend, Jill Lawless
refers to Barney Chandler as holding “the most important job in England” (Jill
Lawless, Associated Press, March 1, 2024).
From my clearly “unroyal” point of view, it seems like a lot of fuss and
financial expenditure for a job that fails to hold value. It is hard to think
of spending our lives in a pointless occupation. In contrast, Jesus came into
this world to tackle the truly most important job: Savior of the world (Luke
2:11; 9:23).
Everywhere Jesus went the common people seemed to recognize His
importance. He taught them. He healed them. He valued them. He showed them God. |
