Yes.
God cares about the hungry,
God cares about the poor,
God is concerned with the problems of this world.
Yet instead of sending food
or clothing
or fixing all that was wrong,
God sent Jesus
To show us how to live in this broken world.
You see,
God was more concerned about the humanity’s separation from
the
True nature and character of God
Than He was about a quick fix to the wrongs, injustices,
and inadequacies of this world.
(Because)
A right relationship with God through Jesus--
Forgiveness and redemption from sin
That allows us to take part in God’s
infinite
Goodness,
mercy, and grace--
Will compel us all to
Feed the hungry (and)
Clothe the poor (and)
Work together
To alleviate the wrongs, injustices, and inadequacies of this world.
You see,
Through God’s miraculous and mysterious ways,
We are the living, breathing
Hands and feet of
The Christ-child
Born, living, and breathing,
Two thousand years ago.
We are the continued beneficiaries and action-bearers of
the
Greatest Gift ever given:
A life of perfection,
Fully God, fully Man,
Fully Divine, fully Human,
Fully showing us
How to live, breathe, and walk
In Love.
Amen.
