What a great analogy tying back both to New T...Wow! What a great analogy tying back both to New Testament times as well as the church today. This correlates to many of the teachings of Jesus recorded throughout the gospels, especially regarding reaping the ripe harvest, the depth of caring for/loving someone, religiosity and legalism, the beatitudes, and many more! I could easily see this being titled "A Letter to the Church of 2013" as it symbolizes how the church has separated itself from its responsibility to care for people who are a part of Christ's family. Caring for and loving those with disabilities or specials needs that require a little extra effort on our part is not, but is clearly stated in the Bible that it should be, a part of our very makeup. Instead the church has become a place that is not only convenient for a certain type of person, but also inconvenient for anyone outside that "norm". We have failed to be any different than the rest of the world and also failed in keeping the commands of unconditional grace and love to the "least of these".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610667477198916956noreply@blogger.com
