Over 2000 years ago a little-known Jewish profit travelled from small town to small town healing those that the Pharisees and other church leaders considered unworthy or unclean. These unfortunates were not allowed to pray in the synagogues or bathe in the public baths. They ate from the trash bins and slept in dark spots away from the places where those in charge might find them and punish them for being poor.
Meanwhile, those with money ate the best food, drank their precious wine, bathed in the public baths, attended synagogues daily and prayed, blessing themselves for doing good. They gave very small handouts to those closest to the doors of the synagogues. And when they returned home, they punished their servants for small misdeeds while they were away.
Overall, our society is the same today as it was 2000 years ago; the only difference is we celebrate that wandering Jew in our houses of worship and call Him Christ our Savior, yet we undo everything He stood for and everything He practiced in His time while He walked among us. We are the outcasts, and we are the sinners; we have yet learned to heal. What hypocrites we remain!
