Greeting, hope your week is going well.
We need not to look far to see the injustice that exists in our world. We are witnessing the outright hatred for others. This is not hidden, this is not done under of darkness, this hatred is manifested right out there in the open. And what makes this even worse is that there are those who say that it is the Christian thing to do.
The theologian and preacher N.T. Wright tells us something that we should keep in mind not only today as you read it but something that we should keep in our mind all the time, He tells us, “You are called to be truly human, but it is something short of the life of God within you, that enables you to be so, to be remade in God’s image. As C. S. Lewis said in a famous lecture, ‘next to the sacrament itself your Christian neighbor is the holiest object every present in your sight, because in him or her the living Christ is truly present.’ “
If we proclaim that we are Christian, then how can we hate our brother or sister who is the very image of God standing before us?
Peace and All Good,
