Mockery has a negative connotation.
We associate it with cruelty, with punching down, with the kind of laughter that leaves bruises. We’ve been told that mockery is always sinful, that reverence must be solemn, that godliness whispers.
But the Gospel tells a different story, one where God Himself laughs in the face of evil. Not cruelly, but confidently. Not with contempt, but with triumph.
Because when Love has nothing left to prove, it smiles at what once terrified it.
