The Work of the People have impressed me time and time again with their artful visual media and keen ability to tell the Christian story within our own lives and neighborhoods. Their latest video to grab my attention (ht african monastic) is curiously titled, What is Poverty? Its message is simple, inspiring, and unflinchingly difficult.
Watch the video (about 4 minutes long) and see how it meets or conflicts with your own definition of poverty. And then, after pausing a moment for the story to ingest, remember and celebrate with me God’s saving Friendship inaugurated in a defenseless and crying baby some 2000 years ago. Immanuel, God-With-Us. What a perfectly suitable way to rescue the world’s lost and broken, poor and oppressed…
Merry Christmas!
