Moses stuttered. Abraham was old.Lazarus was dead. Jeremiah cried too much.                            David was a kid.Peter was the man with the foot-shaped mouth.                                                          Naomi was too poor. Simon was a member of a subversive, revolutionary sect. Rahab was a prostitute. Elijah burned out.Noah got drunk.  Paul murdered.James and John were high-school hotheads.

Wow… some crew.

John the Baptist was plain weird. Eating locusts and dressed in camel skins. Who does that? He doubted Jesus too. Remember Jesus response? As Fredrick Buechner paraphrases, “You go tell John what you have seen around here. Tell him that people have sold their seeing eye dogs and taken up bird watching. Tell him that people have traded in their aluminum walkers for hiking boots. Tell him the down and out have turned into the up and coming and a lot of deadbeats are living it up for the first time in their lives.”

Such is the Kingdom of God. Jesus is in the business of taking raw, rough materials and transforming them though His shed blood and His Spirit. Jesus always looked right past the muck of people’s stuff and sees the redemptive future. He sees what can be. He loves people as they are but loves people enough to not allow them to stay that way. Let us not get so cynical we stop believing people and things can be transformed. With God all things are possible.
