TIM
Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central.
God has called us to reach out to those less fortunate than we are. We see the actions of Jesus: he eats with the tax collector; he speaks to a Samaritan woman; he healed a man suffering from leprosy; he forgave the criminal hanging on the cross next to him and offered him salvation.
If Jesus reached to the outcasts, then why do we not do the same? During a time that the basic thrust of religion was to separate the insiders from the outsiders, Jesus crossed the barriers. It appears that not much has changed. It appears that we still remain separated by “us” and “them”.
Micah 6:8 says, “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.”
I challenge you to seek justice and encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless and plead the case of the widow. Don’t allow there to be a separation of us and them.
