"When a Christian sees prostitutes, alcoholics, prisoners, drug addicts, unwed mothers, the homeless, the refugees, he knows that he is looking in a mirror. Perhaps the Christian spent all of his life as a respectable middle-class person. No matter. He thinks: "Spiritually I was just like these people, though physically and socially I never was where they are now. They are outcasts. I was an outcast." Timothy Keller - Ministries of Mercy
- The Gospel holds that we are all dead in our sin (Eph 2:1).
- It's only because of the love of God that Christians have been made alive with Christ. (Eph 2:4).
- If this is where you came from spiritually, can you look down on anyone?
Ephesians 2:4,5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved.
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I will not be able to look down on others when I look up to You dying on the cross for me. Please help me to look up. Amen.
