As men and women called by God, and sent by Jesus to spread the good news of His Gospel, it is more than disappointing that out of fear we are reluctant to carry this treasure of life to those who need it most. We will readily face hardship and even death to preach the good news from a hillside, but we shy away from engaging directly with those whose sin is repugnant to us, or we feel is an abomination to God. We fear their sin will taint us in some way, bring criticism upon us, or defile us, so by our fear we leave them untouched, and God’s gift undelivered, dooming the most needy to face a sinner’s death. When we look at ourselves, is this who we see?
