Beneficiaries and Action-Bearers

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.
