Crying Voices.

Monday, June 15, 2009. We need to open our eyes for the needs of humans on our planet. We need to open our ears for the cries of our fellow men and women. We need to wake up.

Jesus has been making very clear, where his heart is: ‘You people who have God my Father’s favour on you, come into the kingdom that was made ready for you when the earth was created. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me food to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was a foreigner and you welcomed me in to your homes, 36 I had nothing to wear and you gave me clothes, I was ill and you visited me, I had been put in prison and you came to help me. 37 Then the good people will ask me: “But Master, when did we see you hungry and give you food to eat, or thirsty and give you a drink, 38 or when did we see you as a foreigner and welcome you in, or having nothing to wear and give you clothes, 39 or when did we see that you were ill or in prison and come to you? 40 Then I, the king, will tell them: ‘The truth is that in doing it to one of the least important of my brothers, you did it to me. (Matthew 25, 34-40)

We know the needs. They are there in our own society. The needs are there in our backyard. And we know the needs in many countries on this earth, with famines, war and ruthless regimes suppressing people.

Help and action is needed. It is not easy. It might appear to us too difficult, too hard, impossible to achieve. But an “impossible” is nothing which Jesus ever accepted. “The truth is that if your trust in God was as small as a seed of the mustard plant, you would be able to say to this mountain here ‘Leave this place’ and it would go away, and you would find that there was nothing you could not do” (Matthew 17,20).

We need to open our eyes for the needs of humans on our planet. We need to open our ears for the cries of our fellow men and women. We need to wake up. [R.W.E.P., jesusnetwork.eu]
