(Luke 24:36-48) WORK IN PROGRESS



RUNNING THROUGH SCRIPTURES LIKE A THEME
IS GOD’S CONCERN FOR THOSE SOCIETY HAVE PASSED BY
TIME AND TIME AGAIN
HE THUNDERS HIS CONCERN

TO THOSE WHO FORTUNE HAS BLESSED
HE HAS ONLY ONE WORD
DO NOT HOLD ON TO YOUR POSSESSIONS SO TIGHTLY
THEY HURT
 YOU OR YOUR NEIGHBOR

LUKE SAYS THAT CHRIST AFTER THE RESURRECTION
JESUS OPENED THE APOSTLE’S MINDS
SO THEY COULD UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES

THE SCRIPTURE THEY PREACHED FROM THAT MOMENT ON
WAS THE HEBREW BIBLE
THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE HAD NOT BEEN WRITTEN

THAT THE CHRISTIAN WAS TASKED
TO AID
ALLEVIATE
IF POSSIBLE REMOVE
THE BURDEN OF THE UNFORTUNATE

IT WASN’T A CHOICE
IT WENT ALONG WITH THE NAME

THAT THOSE WHO HAVE
BE CONCERNED WITH THOSE WHO HAVE NOT

NOT IN A CONDESCENDING WAY
BUT IN REAL BROTHERHOOD

SOME OF US WILLINGLY SHARE OUR BOUNTY
WITH THE UNFORTUNATE

FEW OF US SEEK THE SOURCE OF THEIR MALADY
AND WORK TO CORRECT IT

THE MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS IS TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD
WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO
