Earth's broken things
"This man welcomes sinners -- and eats with them!" Luke 15:2
"I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you!" Matthew 21:31
Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things.
Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken -- in building their kingdoms. But God is the God of
the broken, the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no 'bruised
reed' which Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. He can take the life crushed by pain or
sorrow -- and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise. He can lift earth's saddest failure -- up to heaven's glory!
