A Daily Devotional

About standing in the shadow of the cross during man's inhumanity to man:

Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, (NIV)

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (KJV)

In times of tragedy and man's inhumanity to man, one could conclude God does not exist. If God existed, how could He ever permit the countless tragedies and incidents of inhumanity to go on? Why doesn't God stop tragedies? Why doesn't God stop the inhumanity of man against man? There is never a good answer to these questions. Sorting through all the ways of God, one answer a searcher would find is God wants us to be free. Unfortunately, in our freedom we commit horrible and grievous sins against each other. In the freedom granted to the creation God made, evil has an opportunity to flourish and grow. In the freedom granted to the creation God made, Satan has a chance to take lives of young and old, of all races of people, in all places and at all times. Is freedom precious to God? Yes, freedom is precious to Him. In one respect, God not only freed His people from slavery under Pharaoh, God freed you from the slavery of sin. In another respect, God did not force His people out of Egypt and God does not force anyone to accept the freedom from sin offered to us by Christ. God does more than just offer freedom. In times of tragedy and inhumanity, God offers love. Unimaginable in human terms, God offers love to the most inhumane human being. Unimaginable in human terms, God offered His only Son for us, even when we do inhumane things to each other or even if we just think about doing inhumane things to each other. The shadow of the cross hangs over all humanity as Christ calls us to save the life of those threatened by inhumane acts, to love, to live in peace, and to forgive�forgiving even acts of inhumanity..in our freedom from the slavery of sin.
