...rather than waiting for the religious or political hero or movement to arrive, I choose to believe that this salvation comes through us as we recognize each other as the particular...and we can if we pay attention to one another's stories...
After thinking about this, I can very much relate. When I was twenty years old forty-seven years ago, I was descending deeper and deeper into isolation. But when Christ Jesus "saved" me, He opened me up and poured me out into the lives of so many . . . just as He did Himself. In spite of myself, He has used me to be a blessing for others. WOW! Praise the LORD! Huh?
Interesting. I hadn’t thought about this before, why there is both particular and universal.

"Salvation demands a social encounter."
