But they don’t deserve any help! Is a cry often heard in a society that does not perceive everyone’s common humanity and sees anyone who is different as a threat instead of an opportunity to make Christ visible
It is on the cross that we find that we are perfectly loved, completely forgiven, and wonderfully reconciled to God.
