Eternal irony...
Woman arrested for trying to offer a cup of water.
Reminds me of those who tried to give Christ a cup of water...but the mobs desire to crucify Him was greater. You can almost hear the echos from the past...Crucify Him, Crucify him, Crucify her. But let us remember that what we do for the least of us we do for Christ.
How nice it is to be remembered throughout all history as the loser that tried to offer Christ a cup of water vs the winner that Crucified Him. How blind are those who threw dice at the feet of Him who was dying. How blind was the crowd that called for Christ to be crucified, justified by mans law, yelling, let the blood be on our hands.
Its Lent... The godless (at least in name for they follow another god...that of death) are celibrating their holiday. A rememberence of death. Their thrist is being quenched while Terri dehydrates, their hunger filled while she starves. The death of the most innocent, the unborn, the helpless, the defenseless is what causes such joy to those that have replaced Christ in their hearts with Satans desires. In a world without God they must play god in order to give life meaning, yet in playing god they have unknowingly but one god to immitate.
How blind they must be to think that this Lent is but a coincidence of timing to put her to death. How blind they must be to be found measured in every court at every level (as Christ was when the religious leaders went from one kangaroo court to another to seek the death of an innocent man). How blind are those that stand guard over her door while she lies nailed to the bed through weakness. Will anyone offer her even a sponge of vinegar to cool her dried lips.
God forgive us....Christ have mercy on us.
Their is no greater gift than to lay down ones life for the life of another...spoken by The Word, Jesus Christ, only a short 2000 years ago.
well said.
