Christ in the World Day 28
Towering triumphantly over New York Harbour, the Statue of Liberty has become a beacon of hope for oppressed peoples from around the world. This stately lady, with freedom's torch held high, welcomes refugees from far across the world with these words on her pedestal,
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
To those oppressed by the permissiveness and selfishness of our society, Jesus still extends this same comfort of God's love. He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."1 To those trapped by a ruthless secular world, the Body of Christ still answers with the one name, "JESUS." Jesus still unshackles their chains himself. He beckons, "in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!." 2
1Matthew 11.28. 2John 16.33.
