Jesus was not a normal human baby. Unlike other human beings, Jesus chose to come into the world, even though he knew his purpose would be to suffer and die as a sacrifice.
Isaiah 1: Morsel of Mercy
what we do (or do not do) about righteously tending and caring for the physical earth itself matters to God; what we do (or do not do) about hungry people and homeless people, marginalized people and people in need matters to God.
Mercy and Grace
Some warm to the largely comforting and hopeful philosophy that babies are born pure and innocent, and itโs the morally unhealthy culture, surrounding society, that inclines us to sin. Others argue that to believe such a theory takes a person off the hookโmy sin is always someone elseโs fault, rather than owning we are born sinful.
Sacrifice of Thanksgiving
โWe are the new humanity,โ Noah had said quietly, his voice catching. โGod has given us Shalom, and we will praise Him with all our hearts.โ
