RST -- Simplicity / God's "Peculiar Passion"

Simplicity revisited--interesting in light of our call to be imitators of God... (Ephesians 5:1)
 
 
"God has a peculiar passion for the forgotten.  Have you noticed?  See His hand on the festered skin of the leper?  See the face of the forgiven prostitute cupped in His hands?  Notice how he responds to the touch of the woman with the hemorrhage?  See him with His arm around corrupt but hopeful little Zaccheus?  Yes, over and over again God wants us to get the message: He has a peculiar passion for the forgotten.  What society throws out, God brings in.  What the world writes off, God picks up."
 
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
"I am the good shepherd: the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep."
Luke 19:10, John 10:11
