"So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”
- Luke 14:21-24
We were challenged and exhorted by MTW missionary to Chile, John Rug, on including the specially challenged in our churches. Reminded of how Jesus' miracles show us his heart of compassion for the
"least of these," we must ask ourselves, do we "act in accord with the miracles to the extent we reach out and minimize the effects of disabilities?"
Are we being Jesus' disciples?
John can do that in a way few others can- he is blind. I'm thankful for his faithfulness to the Gospel and his heart of compassion as well.
