We are all trophies of God's grace, some more dramatically than others; Jesus came for the sick and not the well, for the sinner and not the righteous. He came to redeem and transform, to make all things new. May you go forth more committed than ever to nourish the souls who you touch, those tender lives who have sustained the enormous assaults of the universe. {pp.88}
According to Philip Yancey in "What Good Is God?", everyone is a result of God's grace, though some receive it more visibly than others. Jesus' mission was to seek out and help those who are hurting, sinners, and those who recognize their need for salvation, rather than focusing on the self-righteous. His purpose was to bring redemption and renewal, transforming lives and making them new.
Yancey encourages us to remain committed to nurturing the souls of those we encounter, especially those who have endured tremendous challenges and hardships inflicted by the universe. He reminds us that our role is to offer compassion, support, and spiritual nourishment to those vulnerable lives, reflecting the transformative love and grace of God.
