4 our stewardship

 Read Genesis 1:26-31

God created all things and there was perfect harmony between all creation and God. But as we read in Genesis 3:14-19, the fall brought about sin and separation from God for both humanity and creation – breaking the perfect harmony that had existed.

Subject: Give meaning to your life

Scripture: John 10:10

Just a few days ago me and my wife were sitting on our bed and talking just casual matters and suddenly I told her “Liz, imagine our life is like a clock and we have in this world only 12 hours to live. Then because you are on the wrong side of fifty and I am on the verge of 60 we have lived most of our life and probably we are now at 10.30 of our life on earth” Wow, this was a sobering thought. After few laughs as usual we realized that we need to maximize usefulness of our life. We thank God for this life as our lives have been invested in the lives of many people for over 40 years as Christians. We also have some regrets as we feel we could have done much more than what we have done in the past. All of us know our life is absolutely and unequivocally brief and uncertain yet we live as if we are going to live forever. We should not be morbid about death yet we must keep death always in front of us to remind us that we have only one brief life and so make the best of our life here on earth. As Christians we are given a wonderful one opportunity to live a life for God.

Charity (giving to the poor and needy) is an ancient Hebrew concept recorded in their Scripture and practiced from time immemorial; not a philanthropic concept but a concept rooted in the very idea of the justice of God.  God is a just God and therefore he demands his creatures, the humans, to practice social justice by extending charity to the poor because no one chooses to be poor but happens to be poor due to the circumstances beyond one’s control.  Therefore, a Hebrew, i.e., as the people of God, has a God ordained responsibility to look after the welfare of the poor and the needy in order to maintain the privilege of being the people of God.  The key scriptural teaching on the topic is recorded in Leviticus 25 and particularly the verse 35 captures the concept of Hebrew understanding of tzedakah, which the Amplified Version attempts to translate it with its full force as; “And if your [Israelite] brother has become poor and his hand wavers [from poverty, sickness, or age and he is unable to support himself], then you shall uphold (strengthen, relieve) him, [treating him with the courtesy and consideration that you would] a stranger or a temporary resident with you [without property], so that he may live [along] with you”.
