Re: Loving Our Enemies :: Making Sense of Grace and Judgement

I'm still learning that we are God's children - and I've had to learn that God loves His/Her children. I can't...for some reason imagine God wanting to send their children to a place of eternal punishment...[though these days, I could get burned at the stake for saying such things..] But it makes sense, if we are born out of the image of God and God's love -- God loves the terrible ones, right? Every single wicked person, even...
Hm. What a wild God we have. I'm not sure how we can even claim to know what God's wrath is...Especially if it was written by men who believed strongly in war and violence.

I wish you and phileena could make it to our wedding in Oregon, Chris. We'd be mighty honored - - after all, we did meet in the City of Joy - - a place where we still find ourselves unpacking.

thanks always for your voice.

Re: If I Blogged... - A Suffering Christ in a City of Joy

joshcasper — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:19:12 -0000

There was a large picture of Jesus in Kalighat....(one of the several, obviously...) that laid behind the last bed on the raised platform.
I sat across from a man they had brought in who was a few breaths away from his last.
As I watched, and prayed with the others around him, I was completely overwhelmed with the suffering Christ.
After the volunteer doctor pulled the sheet over his head...I had to sit by a man who was on the bed by the picture of Jesus. I looked up with tears and remembered the holes in His hands and feet...knowing that he knew of that man's suffering...that it was me who had neglected my brother.
I won't forget that. I can't forget that. The suffering Christ has changed the way I do life. - - the things you feel in the city of joy.
