"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon . . .?"
How often do we think we know all there is to know about someone...or a group of someones?
Maybe it is because of their appearance, their background, their history, their race, their sexual orientation, their political stance, their family, their job (or lack of one)----or even our own past experience with the person.
Friends, we who believe that knowing Christ transforms a person,
we who believe in the power of the Holy Spirit,
we who believe that God the Father is Creator of all
We, of all people, we need to remember that these beliefs on which we stand, these beliefs we declare as our faith, these hold true for all people----in spite of the limits our eyes, and mouths, and hearts may put on another human being. God's steadfast love and healing power is for all. Praise be to God!
