I know I haven’t wrote a blog since being in South Africa, but here’s a small thought:
There’s a homeless man I often past in the street that has Jesus in his eyes. I can see it with one glance. Light, beautiful, penetrating, reflecting perfect light. He almost looks like a seer, like someone who knows the future or has a gift of knowledge. He knows. It’s almost frightening to think about, but I want to talk with him and learn.
I am reminded of this So Long Forgotten song, Pilgrim:
“I saw Jesus among the pigeons. I found him in a drunk man’s vision. I just wanna give. I just wanna give. I just wanna give what I’ve been given. This place is bold. This place is dauntless. It needs not our assistance. This place is for the birds.”
Maybe the poor really is Jesus in disguise.
