What we can’t do is mix his kingdom and ours. Some things, like oil and water, don’t mix.
God has enough power to raise Jesus from dead; surely he has enough power for whatever task lies in front of us.
We help lead people to Jesus so he can “untwist” their lives, and we look forward to the day when everything will be made whole again.
What Jesus does physically and ceremonially for the leper, he can for us spiritually. He is more than willing to make us clean in God’s eyes.
We should learn to live our lives the way we build sand castles. We should put in our work and do our best, but we should live with the knowledge that this all temporary.

We hang plaques on our wall, post on social media, and mention our accomplishments in nearly every conversation. We want the world to know just how great we really are. This is an issue of pride.
