The focus is really on the person who is disabled. The power that the person who is disabled really has in the scripture, I never really thought until now what a significant role the person who is disabled has in the scripture. The power that the disable person projects in the scripture is something I never thought about before. The person who is disabled has the power to bring out our true colors, whether we are truly following the footsteps of Jesus or are we just being pretenders. I think about my church and ask the question is my church really following the teachings of Jesus and acting like Jesus would? The answer would be no, like Jesus said, if you don’t show love especially to those who are disabled then you don’t really love your neighbors. It makes me sad because even today I have witness especially in my own church how we still shun and walk away from loving and helping those in need, like the Priest and the Levite. The true character of someone comes out especially when they are faced with a situation dealing with a person who is in need, this I believe is the true message that God is trying to show us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825243.post-66144947072090310642013-06-23T13:11:04.234-07:002013-06-23T13:11:04.234-07:00Jeff, it is my hope that those laying there will h...Jeff, it is my hope that those laying there will hear their importance in God's story. Often when you see so any walk by (while revealing of character for those travelers) it leaves you, the weaken one, with a sense of unimportance. What you underline is just the opposite. Thank you from a fellow ditch resident.
