Thought for today
Was Jesus a good man?...
‘Was he a good man?
a truly good man?
To many Jesus was a law-breaker,
and a blasphemer;
They didn’t think him good.
He turned accepted standards
upside down.
Men and women stood aghast
that he cared so little
for ecclesiastical rules and traditions;
that he cared so much
for the outcast, the despised;
for the man whose business ethics were unacceptable;
for the woman who sold herself
as a momentary substitute for love...
he overset the existing order and
good became what he was.’
Lord forgive us what we are
And help us become what you would have us be.
