' For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
(Matthew 25:31-46)
It sometimes feels these days like you wake up every morning and there's a new tragedy on the news.
The Manchester Bombing.
The two terrorist attacks in London.
The Grenfell tower fire.
We live in a broken world and we see evidence of that everyday.
But, we also see the incredible ways many respond to tragedy.
The supplies and donations contributed by thousands.
The celebrities who hold concerts and record songs to raise more money.
The fire-fighters and the NHS who saved so many lives.
For these people who respond to tragedy in the right way...For these people who reflect the compassion of Christ, whether they know it or not...For the God who is with us in tragedy...For the promised future when death and suffering will be no more...
For this, we can be very, very thankful.
