One of the most striking facts about Christian faith, setting it apart from many another transforming vision, that its ultimate aim is found in a person. After all the dehumanising ideologies that have pursued ‘the greater good’ without regard for individual people, that personal focus is worth holding on to. One of the key threads running through the entire Christian story is the idea of gift.
In Matthew chapter 16 (verses 21-28), Jesus invites our participation in the sacrifice which he himself makes complete. In what ways do people give their lives today (Christians and non-Christians alike)?
whenever we are being generous
