A child, a woman and a man are people dear and close to me: a name, a smile, a voice I know, a hand I touch, a face I see; yet more than I can see or know my Savior knows, and fully loves that very woman, child and man. A child, a woman and a man are people in a foreign land whose word I doubt, whose hopes I fear, whose ways I cannot understand; and yet I need to feel and know how Christ, my Savior, knows and loves that very woman, child and man. For if I somehow shift the blame for all my pride and guilt within, the foreigners I cannot love will be the scapegoats for my sin, as they look evil, I feel good, and in the name of Christ destroy the work of Christ, and feel no shame. Yet Christ was hated and reviled and branded as the enemy -- a scapegoat who endured the cross in love for all, and love for me; and when I meet you, Lamb of God, I find myself: convicted, loved, forgiven, healed, and reconciled. Enlarge our vision, as you can, until we see, confess, condemn, more than the evil others do, the evils we might do to them. Renew and cleanse our inmost heart, till we are looking through your eyes at every woman, child and man.
