Many
have regarded Christian faith as a source of special privilege, status or
rights. Yet Jesus had “nowhere to lay
his head”. His frightened disciples
cried “save us!” – perhaps even they expected a comfortable, storm-free berth. Yet Jesus was ready to die for the urgent goal
of human transformation. It makes sense
for us to want comfort and peace. But
until the world is healed, the Way of Jesus serves a purpose bigger than
personal satisfaction. Jesus’ disciples are
called to become agents of the transformation he sought. Sometimes, that comes at significant personal
cost. But Love is strong.
Graham
