Matt Mings on Quotes for the Incarnational Journey
My heart’s cry:
To go where healing love is needed, and give it in a way in which it can be received, often means acting in the teeth of our own interests and preferences, even religious interests and preferences. Christ risked his reputation for holiness by healing on the Sabbath; he touched the unclean and dined with the wrong people; he accepted the love and companionship of a sinner (that most wonderful of all remedies for the wounds of sin). He loved with God’s love and so went straight to the point: What can I do to restore my fellow creature and how?
–From The Light of Christ by Evelyn Underhill
SO TELL ME SOMETHING:
How easy or difficult is it for you to be like Christ in these ways?
