The Feet Of Jesus And The Earth - final, sorry

Heaven or the heavens , is a common religious cosmological or transcendent supernatural place where beings such as gods , angels , spirits , saints , or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned , or live. According to the beliefs of some religions, heavenly beings can descend to Earth or incarnate and earthly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife or, in exceptional cases, enter Heaven alive. Heaven is often described as a "highest place", the holiest place, a Paradise , in contrast to hell or the Underworld or the "low places" and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity , goodness , piety , faith , or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine will. Some believe in the possibility of a heaven on Earth in a world to come. Another belief is in an axis mundi or world tree which connects the heavens, the terrestrial world, and the underworld. In Indian religions , heaven is considered as Svarga loka , [1] and the soul is again subjected to rebirth in different living forms according to its karma. This cycle can be broken after a soul achieves Moksha or Nirvana. Any place of existence, either of humans, souls or deities, outside the tangible world Heaven, Hell, or other is referred to as the otherworld. The modern English word heaven is derived from the earlier Middle English heven attested ; this in turn was developed from the previous Old English form heofon. The Feet Of Jesus And The Earth

Newspaper photos, social media posts and live TV coverage depicted the devastation. Those viewing the destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Harvey could only imagine what the Texas victims were experiencing. For those of us who have experienced the aftermath of a hurricane, the reality is familiar. However, anyone who has either viewed or experienced a disaster like this is familiar with the sacrifices of those who respond to the call for help. As responders poured into the southeastern Texas areas hardest hit, I marveled once again, not only at the sight of trained rescue Tne, but the volunteers who leave their jobs, homes and family to provide assistance to those affected by the flooding.

Stories continue to reveal those moments when all hope seemed lost. Then, someone who refused to give up, showed up and answered the call for help. I listened to TV coverage as victims and rescuers were interviewed. Looking out for the needs of others is a constant theme and reminder for us throughout scripture.

At times like theseI wonder why it takes a disaster to bring people of all races, religions and backgrounds together. Helping others was what Jesus did on a daily basis. He was never too busy or too tired to answer a cry for help, whether Jew or Gentile. Youngsters from as far north as Maine and as far south as Florida have raised thousands for the disaster relief through lemonade stands and bake sales. We become the hands and feet of Jesus when we reach out to those in need. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world.

The Feet Of Jesus And The Earth

Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
