Community of Sinners

The church is a community of sinners, of flawed and broken people who cling to Jesus for hope.  As we commonly cling to Jesus, we wind up also clinging to each other, in all our individual messiness.

In this way, the church is like the homeless community, who are flawed and broken, estranged from family.  In all their individual and collective messiness, they cling to each other, and to helping agencies, for hope.

In this life, we are all dealing with isolation. separated from our true home, stuggling with this life of pain and suffering. We long for the eternal Home which is being prepared for us.
