For Scoundrels, Scallywags, And Rascals — Christ Came

Tamar, who seduced her father-in-law, Judah. Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute. Bathsheba was raped by King David. Solomon of 300 concubines & 700 wives—all ancestors of Jesus. Iraqis, Canaanites, Moabites, Hittites, Ammonites—from them, Christ came. & he came for everyone. Liars, the avaricious, psychopaths: to all, his redemption is offered.

He came for people from every nation & language. For those we respect & find interesting & those we secretly judge & are threatened by. To all, he comes, bearing gifts: the ability to love, answered prayer, his guidance, his wisdom, his peace.

Nothing separates the thirsty heart from his love, not our stinginess, vengefulness, untruthfulness, selfishness or manipulations. We come to him through repentance, surrender & soaking in his sacred book. We come humbly, breathing: Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. There is room in my heart for you. & he will come, with transformation, as he did all those years ago, when he came for everyone & he came for you.
