Jesus Did Not Send Us

The Problem Is That The Chicken-soup-for-the-soul Stuff May Feel Good, But None Of That Typical Stuff Helps When Somebody In Your Neighborhood Is Murdered.

For Even If The Whole World Believed In Resurrection, Little Would Change Until We Began To Practice It. We Can Believe In Cpr, But People Will Remain Dead Until Someone Breathes New Life Into Them. And We Can Tell The World That There Is Life After Death, But The World Really Seems To Be Wondering If There Is Life Before Death.

With The Early Christians You Couldn't Have God As Your Father Unless You Have The Church As Your Mother. This Isn't Accepting The Church As A Perfect Thing.

So Even As We See The Horror Of Death, May We Be Reminded That In The End, Love Wins. Mercy Triumphs. Life Is More Powerful Than Death. And Even Those Who Have Committed Great Violence Can Have The Image Of God Come To Life Again Within Them As They Hear The Whisper Of Love. May The Whisper Of Love Grow Louder Than The Thunder Of Violence. May We Love Loudly.

[mahatma] Ghandi Said In A World With So Many Hungry People It Just Makes Sense That God Would Come As Food. God Sent The Living Bread And The Living Water In A World Where There Is So Much Thirst And So Much Hunger.
