Just a little one. From Kurt Vonnegut. In a work entitled A Man Without a Country, he said:
“For some reason, the most vocal
Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with
tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public
buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them
demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
‘Blessed are the merciful’ in a courtroom? ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ in the
Pentagon? Give me a break!”
Not so little after all!
Think on this thought over the weekend.
And enjoy the summer’s grace.
