When Christ Jesus identified himself to John’s disciples by his works, preaching the gospel to the poor was significant because it represented a leveling of the playing field. Divine favor, faith in and access to it was no longer for the wealthy few but was now being delivered to the unwashed many by the very Son of God Himself. How it appears to have morphed in the past 2000 years back into a privilege owing to an elite club is baffling. Blogging about it is one way to take the fight for God’s glory back to the streets, virtually perhaps, but such messages are increasingly available on both sides of the digital divide.
